Crabapples

I found the chest of drawers. I'd been going through the pictures from my grandmother's album and there was a black & white picture of a chest of drawers w/ a marble top and columns down the side. On the back was written that it was made by my grandmother's grandfather and it should never leave the family. Got me curious if I could still find it so started asking around. Received an e-mail w/ updated pictures of the same chest that is now in a distant relative's home. I was impressed to not only find out it is still in the family but that my great great grandfather (think that's the right number of "greats") even built in a secret extra drawer. Pretty cool.

Nice to know that it still exists. Looks pretty fancy.

Was there a date when and where the chest was made?
Wonder if it was made in NY or WI? JVW
