    Good afternoon all.
    Hope this is ok for me to post on here for advice...
    If anyone could point me in the best direction or perhaps have any information on the following that would be great.

    My father passed away last year and with only just getting round of clearing some goods.
    I have come across a small cabinet with a small cream plaque on the inside door with 'A.Walker 11 Burmantofts St, Leeds'

    I have searched high and low for information and only found that Burmantofts was a popular area for Pottery. I have no clue in what age/year the cabinet may be.

    Has anyone come across A.Walker before and is it worth myself taking to an Antiques dealer or just to discard the product. I don't want to be giving something away if it was possible that the furniture had been passed through my family down through the
    years.

    (I think I have uploaded the photos correctly)

    Many thanks in advance
    Simon

    A nice little craftsman-era cabinet. Oak, ca. 1925 or so. I wouldn't just discard it, but on the other hand don't expect to get alot of $ for it.

    Welcome Simon. Do you have a selling venue like Craiglist where you are from? Someone might snatch it up and make it part of their family's heritage.

    We have some local sites similar but I don't think it generates much traffic.
    I am popping to a local dealer in my home town of Cleethorpes in UK tomorrow so see what they may say. :)
