Anyone knowledgeable about antiques?

My mother inherited a "smoking stand" from my great-grandmother. It looks like a little furniture stand, but yet has like an insulated interior cabinet. Any input would be appreciated.

Answers:
I have to type this over, because I lost your question before submitting it. I have a smoking table listed on ebay. Having a heck of a time selling it. One guy in Denmark bought it and then didn't pay. If it doesn't sell this time I won't relist it on ebay. I don't think that 's the place to sell antiques, but you could get some ideas and maybe info from there. Otherwise, you could maybe take it to an antique dealer in your area for info. In our Sunday paper in Cleveland, they have a section from the KOVELS about antiques, people send them pictures and the print info. Maybe the have a section like that in your local paper.The Kovel's have an address that you send info to. I have my table listed under the Primitive category, but last time I listed it under antique>furniture>cupboards>..... if you'd like to take a peek at mine it's item#150006951088 You could maybe get some ideas in there. Good luck !!

I used to have one of these. The insulated interior would be the equivalent of a humidor for the tobacco. You might search online for period furniture antique appraisal information. There should be links to forums where you can get additional information for the piece. Good luck.
