Saw this one a week early at the Wheaton Flea Market with a higher price.
Bought it today at a lower price at the Kane County Flea Market.
Very heavy, probably oak.
Brass plate on front with the girl’s names and 1891.

But this one I have seen many times, in an antique store I visit often, was 75% off.
