I have a large chest of drawers that has a tag inside that reads 'Sears and Roebuck" Sorrento collection.

Question

It is solid wood but has several coats of paint so I can't tell what sort of wood it is. I was just wondering how old it might be but can't find site or any info on the web about it. It's about 5 ft. long and has 3 large drawers on each side with a door in the middle that has drawers inside. There are dividers in each top drawer also.

Answer 1

***Have you thought about seeing if there is an archive of old Sears Catalogs somewhere?  Perhaps it would be in that.  

There is a website with the history of the Sears catalog w/a link to send e-mail at the bottom of it:

http://www.searsarchives.com/catalogs/hi...

You might try sending an e-mail to them and asking them:
