I know of no flea market that charges so little to sell or have so few facilities. Flea markets generally have perimeter control, restrooms, and...
I think circa 1900 or just slightly later. Walnut veneer. Style is based on William and Mary designs but by no means pure in form. Factory made...
Swap meets are not all that different than flea markets, though tend to attract smaller less organized dealers selling worse junk. There is a fee...
Haven't heard the term 5 plank chest in ages. Agree that there is certainly some appeal to them and no dispute as to age. Have fished quite a...

Nice sale! I was wondering how the carved coconut flask you sent to auction last year did. I tried to search the forum and found the discussions...
While it is indeed some kind of decorative depiction of a warrior, I get a kind of science fiction or fantasy vibe from it. It sure doesn't look...
Agree with Delft. I would think late 19th or early 20th century. Maybe even up to WWII. Hard to pin down age since similar have been made for a...
It is a modern interpretation of mission style. I doubt if it is any older than 30 years. It could be shop made but is just as likely to have...
