Hmmmm? Wish I could help Shar. That piece is beautiful! Only thing I could suggest is to go to a bookstore or library and check the books on antiques. I used have a book called Trash or Treasure (not that this piece would be trash....even if it weren't a pricey antique) but I can't remember the publishing co. nor can I remember the author(s). I lent it to mom-in-law and haven't had it returned as yet. It listed antiques and collectibles and gives you names and adresses and phone numbers of collectors and appraisers who would tell you what you had and give you an appraisal and even offer to buy it, should you be so inclined. Try the library or a bookstore or even in the phone book.....look for appraisers. Ebay could also be of help......I've found some things similar to hubbies grandfather and great grandfather's belongings being sold on there. Sorry I couldn't help further!
