Key Features
Solid wood construction (no particle board), heavy and durable, classic turned legs, original hardware, excellent candidate for a 'furniture flip' or paint project.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity High (mass-produced American colonial furniture). Look for a brand stamp inside the drawer or on the underside. Dovetail drawer joints indicate quality.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, or local Craigslist. High weight makes shipping via eBay or Mercari cost-prohibitive.
Selling Tips
Photograph in natural indoor lighting rather than direct sunlight. Highlight the 'solid wood' aspect. If selling to a flipper, price it low ($30-$40). If you sand and paint it white or navy with modern hardware, you can double your profit.
