Ampico Roll Cabinet-Desk
By grannom@aol.com

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I'm trying to determine the value of a roll cabinet-desk with decal
"The Ampico" inside top door.  This piece measures 78" high x 28" wide,
has two hand-painted top doors (floral oil painting), a drop-front desk,
also floral painted, and two doors underneath the desk.  The wood is
walnut with hand-carved legs.

I've been told this piece was sold by John Wanamaker's in Philadelphia
exclusively to purchasers of Ampico pianos.  This cabinet-desk is in
excellent condition and I think there may be a matching Ampico piano
out there somewhere.
