It was passed to her son Frank about 1918 when he was married to Iva Judd. Frank died in 1937 and the wash stand remained in the possession of his widow until 1977 when she passed it to her grand daughter, the present owner. It was hand made by an unidenti- fied local craftsman circa 1855 in a countrified interpretation of the Empire style. The cyma curves des- cribed by the backboard and shelf are typical of the Empire style. The legs and towel bar display ring "or spool" turning, which derived from the rural Empire style and beâ€" came almost a style of its own. page 27 The wood is mostly butternut with basswood shelf and hidden parts. Its dimensions are 40%" long, 21" wide and 33" high. After wash stands became obso- lete, this piece was used for years as a desk. For that purpose the lower shelf was cut and removed along with a stretcher between the back legs, and the right hand towel bar. At some time the original drawer pulls have been changed as well. The family moved to Kingston in the 1920's and then to Prescott in 1959. Thereafter the wash stand served as a plant table until it came into the possession of the present owner who used it as an infant's change table. The largest part of the shelf survived and was found in Mrs. Covey's house after her death in 1978. It will be re- placed when the piece is restored. duncan's 3595660 acme " p.m. MONDAY TO FRIDAY SATURDAY UNTIL 12:00 PANASONIC SALES & SERVICE QUASAR SERVICE TO MOST MAKES ANTENNA INSTALLATION & REPAIRS A special December craH' for boys and girls.
