Just wondering if you bought this anywhere in or near Sullivan County as it sure looks like my great-grandmother's which I sold to a antiques dealer in Parksville back in 1994. Yes, it is very old then because she died in 1956, my 93 year old Mom remembers her grandmother telling her it was very, very old back when Mom was young. Back in 1994, I got about $12-$15 for it and I can't imagine how much it was sold for back then, so NOW, you certainly should get a pretty penny for it. I swear it looks exactly like the one that was in my family all those years! Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, No this has been in our family forever. It was given to my Grandmother by her brother in the late 1890's.Thanks for your question and your comments.

Very nice. How did you determine that it is from the 19th Century?

Jun 30th, 2012 at 4:38:56 AM PDT by

Hi Sue42. My Mom who was born in 1923 told me my Grandmother was given this in the late 1890's from her brother Fred who lived in San Deigo California. He owned Fogerty Oil. My Grandmother would go and visit him in the summers from NY. Hope that helps some?

Jun 30th, 2012 at 5:50:07 AM PDT by

Would actually love to own this piece. Beautifuly carved and the design is definately unique. Have you ever tried to have this appraised?

Jul 6th, 2012 at 5:08:01 AM PDT by

Hi gamer88220. No I haven't had it appraised. Most of my stuff just sits around and gathers dust until I decide to part with it. This is really old and it needs to find a new home.

Thanks so much for your comment.
