Yes the drawers have dovetailing...haven't seen any marks other than the Stanley with lines above and below, woodburned in the inside of the drawer -- nm - SyrDragon Jan 12, 21:25 7

- if there is also glue in the joints with the dovetailing, it in not ancient -- nm - peglegpete Jan 12, 21:34 4
  - good point. I will have to get a pic tomorrow since it is in the kid's room -- nm - SyrDragon Jan 12, 21:48 3
    - also, dovetailing that looks too perfect may also mean it is newer -- nm - peglegpete Jan 12, 21:55 2
      - solid wood or multiple ply?, IIRC it was common for the back pieces to be different wood than the front -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 12, 22:46 1
        
        solid -- nm - peglegpete Jan 12, 23:30
- got photos? Now I'm curious. But if you posted them to some antiques forum, you might get better feedback. -- nm - psilotum Jan 12, 21:30
