Vanderslice looks wrong to me; the mark on Mr Nate's piece has some sort of crown at the top, although the rest of the mark is AWOL. The mark on...
My great-grandmother had chairs that height, because she was such a peanut her feet didn't reach the floor otherwise. :p A lot of Victorian women...

It would make a good retail display. The'd have to take the glass out unless they were making the goods 5-finger discount-resistant but it would...
