[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 1615488, member: 29"]I thought it was one of ours. Those studs on the back of the handle are absolutely typical. Said handle looks like French Ivory, which isn't ivory at all. Inside looks like pine, outside is stained, frame is probably elm or beech, which would be common here. As to height, I've a just post war one which is well off the ground. It's a bit of a muddle stylistically, which makes me think it's 20s not 30s - the carved flower motif is an earlier style than the added front moulding or the handle. It's unusual to get castors - any chance of a photo of them? Also, tip it up and see if anything is scrawled on the bottom. Not massive value but it's useful.[/QUOTE]
