Print of General Andrew Jackson

An old print of General Andrew Jackson. Perhaps it is Currier & Ives; I will have to check.

Bureau with side drawers

I don't know any of the history of this bureau, but know that it is old and that it was stripped and refinished by Grandma.

Rocking chair-2

This rocking chair is as I remember it in the living room in Maine at the Libbey Homestead. No refinishing by Grandma.

Tip Top Table

This table was made with the combined efforts of Great-grandpa Libbey and Grandpa Williams, I am pretty sure. They were both skilled wood workers. The center upright was turned on a lathe. Under the table top is a latch that will allow the top to fold down, when not in use.

Rocking Chair with red cushions

I believe this to have come through the Libbey family. Grandma stripped, painted and stenciled this. She also made the cushions.

Hitchcock Chair


 The chair is very old, from the Libbey family. Mama has repainted and stenciled this one -- and several others.

Desk


I have no idea of the history of this desk. I don't remember it in Lynnfield, so am guessing that it was Uncle David's or Aunt Bessie's. It has a fold out writing surface, lots of cubby holes, and three drawers. A beautiful piece of furniture.
