Re: Easton furniture manufacturing company dresser
This piece dates from the turn of the 19th Century and is what's know in the trade as "Poor man's Oak", the grain is actually printed on with a roller and finished over in a shade to resemble oak. Similar pieces can be seen in catalogs of the period (1890-1900) by Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward. Demand for furniture like this last peaked in the early 1990's and has been in decline since then. Comparable pices now often go at auction for under $150.00.
