Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png)
This particular hutch has a cutting board that pulls out above long drawer and two towel racks (one on each side), very sturdy and heavy. Looks like everything is original. Has military type stampings on bottom side of one of the smaller drawers (shown as best as can in pix), Is in decent shape for age of item except for two pieces of bottom back is cracked and off; but have both pieces and they match back up perfectly.

What you have is often referred to as a "Hoosier Cabinet". These were made from just before World War One to the 1930's. They were a really hot item during the late 1980's, but values have since slumped for them. Most today in "As Is" shape sell for less than $500.00.

Exactly. A "Hooser Cabinet" or "Hooser Kitchen Cabinet". Some of these can be quite elaborate with flour sifters, spice racks, sugar and potato bins. This plain one appears to have a cutting board. In this rough condition value around $150-$200.
