Bought this at thrift store. Missing hardware and missing chunk of wood from foot were found in the top drawer. Any idea of history of this piece (year, manufacturer) and value if in good condition?
I’m not finding much. I think the labels torn part says Shelbyville Wardrobe Mfg. Co. Here’s some info on that company, “Shelbyville Wardrobe Manufacturing Company first at 120 East Elizabeth and later at 227 East Locust began operation in the early 1890s. Owned by the Chris Auman family and Milton Senour, it made sideboards, buffets, and other dining room furniture. In the Depression years it discontinued business and Russell Gross purchased the building for his NuKraft company in 1946."
