from the early 1800s that has been in my family this whole time. I refuse to get rid of it and have even paid to have it stored with personal items when I have sold all of my furniture to move.

It is one of those weird, funky, out of place, doesn't go with anything, hand made wood items that goes ANYWHERE because it doesn't go anywhere. I love it.

Good luck hunting!
