"early American" style furniture. LOL - I have been wanting to get rid of mine, but it belonged to my parents.

A bit off the subject, but in the early part of the twentieth century, Israel Sack's (respected NYCity antique dealer)grandfather was a rag and bone man...he went around the city with a horse-drawn cart, collecting odds and ends tossed out of wealthy homes. People gave him their old, unfashionable furniture for pennies...much of this furniture ended up in museums! Chippendale, Queen Anne, Hepplewhite...so be careful what you get rid of!
