Just in: an early 19th C red dovetailed six board chest with the original snipe hinges and till from Exeter, NH,
a mid 19th C grain painted and dovetailed account box found in Augusta, ME,
a small rare 18th C monogrammed tinder box that descended in the Peasley family of Rocks Village (Haverhill), MA,
a covered sugar bucket in lovely original red paint,
a fabulous extra large two handled splint basket measuring approximately three feet in length and two feet across,
a late 19th C Philadelphia box with a terrific label for Romberger & Son's Ladies Boots,
three 19th C Cambridge and Boston autograph albums with pen and ink drawings and watercolors (see listings in Folk Art),
a covered firkin with buttonhole bands in its wonderful original soldier blue paint,
an early 19th C red painted blanket chest with original strap hinges and bootjack ends (see listing in Furniture),
