Antique Blue Dresser with Mirror $150


This wonderful antique dresser would be wondeful in a bedroom -- or even as an entryway piece!  I'm guessing it's from around the 1920's. 

It has three drawers (two small and one large) with reproduction glass knobs.  The top two drawers have the original keyholes (but no keys).  The bevel-edged mirror is original.  Because of it's age, it hangs a little crooked but, to me, that is part of its charm! 


On the back of the dresser is stamped "B.E. Johnson, Kaw, Oklahoma".  Kaw, Oklahoma was covered over by Kaw Lake in 1975 so the original home of this dresser is now under water.  Kind of a fun history!

$150 firm.

Vintage Hoosier Kitchen Cabinet - SOLD



This fun Hoosier kitchen cabinet is probably from the 1930's based on the deco style of the hinges.

It is vintage so it has lots of that wondeful kind of character that comes from wear, use, age, and love. It is missing one drawer but has a basket in it's place. It is also missing the rolling tamblor door (where to upper basket is in the photo). The hinges on the lower portion are different than those on the upper portion (see photos below - the rounder hinges are on the bottom and the more angular hinges are on the top). There is a piece missing from the upper left corner of the bottom drawer (you can see in the photo if you look closely). There are chips in the edges of the enamel counter surface as in the norm for these pieces.




The cabinet is newly painted in a wonderful apple green with a flat finish which is a bit atypical but seems to work for this piece. If the paint finish or the color are a deal-breaker for you, we can repaint it for you for a little extra.
