<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 10509274, member: 37"]Let me start out by saying that I am not an expert in early American furniture but have been around long enough to see a bit. I think all three are pine. Old growth furniture grade pine has long straight grain, without knots. I am least sure about #2. Better pictures might help but this is what I am seeing in these pics. </p><p><br /></p><p>I pretty much agree with your dating. I do think #1 to be early 19th century. Agree that #2 could be either 18th or 19th century. #3 is a piece made by someone other than a cabinet maker. Hesitate to call it a folk piece but more a country vernacular piece. Would think mid to late 19th century. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don't know enough about Southern furniture to tell if these are Southern in origin or not. It would affect value positively if they are. You are best to consult with someone better versed as to value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
