This item is located in Benicia. If interested please call or text Dave or else I wont get the message, show contact info . Emails will not be seen or read. This is a vintage homemade very rustic, primative small painted 3 drawer wooden dresser all made from old farmhouse fruit and salt crates. I dont know it's age. It has two white knob pulls per drawer & someone long ago wrote "top" "middle" and "bottom" on the side of each drawer. It would be good sitting on a tabletop or similar because it measures approx 18-1/4"tall x 13"wide x 9-3/4"deep. There is a top of dresser crack in the wood going all the way from one side to the other, see 2nd, 3rd & 4th pictures. There are other imperfections or scuffed places as to be expected with such an old and rustic primative piece. This is a super cute and unique way of repurposing old wooden crates. I did my best to identify some of the crates that were used in the making of the dresser. They include: 1. On the bottom exterior of the dresser is a PORTION of a paper label made from a "C.D. Hibbard Fruit Co, Happy Brand Lemons" crate 2. The top drawer doesn't have any markings at all 3. The middle drawer on the inside front has part of the painted words from a crate, "SHAKER SALT" The outside back of the middle drawer has part of the painted words from a crate, "DIAMOND CRYSTAL SALT CO. ST. CLAIR, MICH" plus a red salt container that says "SALT FOR THE TABLE, ALWAYS DRY". The outside bottom of the drawer says "CHANGE CALIFORNIA", (which may be from a crate saying "california fruit exchange covered wagon pears"???) 4. The bottom drawer on the outside back says "in Cellar" within a painted red rectangle
