Selling some great early American furniture plus assorted housewares & tools. 

Dale's special note on the furniture in the beginning:  This furniture was handmade by true craftsmen before power tools and mass production. It has stood the test of time, some of it for nearly 200 years. I know antiques aren't appreciated the way they used to be, but these pieces represent a level of skill and craftsmanship that will probably never be replicated again. In addition, some of these pieces were rare finds during the heyday of antiques (which I'm one of the few left who remembers). If nothing else, take some time to come look at and appreciate what men with coping saws, wood chisels, and hand planes could do. They were true artisans.

Shipping: Generally, we are in the auction business, not the shipping business. Our auctions are designed for customer pick-up.  If you would like us to ship an item, you need to understand that we don’t get the high-volume rates the big online retailers do. Shipping can be expensive, as some items are bigger and heavier than they appear in the photos. Also, appropriate handling charges will apply. Please inquire on shipping BEFORE you purchase. In addition, the buyer must provide us with a shipping label after obtaining the necessary information from our office. We strongly recommend insurance. We make a diligent effort to pack items in a responsible manner, but it is unreal what these shipping companies can break. We will not be liable for shipping damage.
