Hi Christopher, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. The cabinet with glass would almost certainly have been meant to be filled with breakables and not, therefore, fitted with casters (wheels) on the bottoms of the feet. The writing doesn't mean anything to me; it was probably some sort of internal code for a pattern or stock or maker and does not impact the value in any way. Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: A vintage Colonial Revival style oak dining room set American or European, first half 20th Century Comprising: A sideboard, 40 inches high, 68 inches long, 22 inches deep, marked below, on casters (CAD $500-800) A demi-glazed (glass) china cabinet, 61 inches high, 38 inches wide, 14 inches deep, no casters (CAD $500-800) A dining table with crank locking mechanism, 30 inches high, 60 inches long (72 inches extended), 42 inches wide (CAD $700-1,000) A set of six chairs with tapestry upholstery (comprising one armchair and five side chairs), 41 inches tall overall, seat approximately 18 by 17 inches, with straw fill. (CAD $600-900) CONDITION: not examined in person but appears to be in used/worn condition. Client represents the table has been refinished.
