ID:	2872I bought this sweet thing in Victoria BC. I have no idea what it could be originally used for. There is a door at the bottom that opens up for more shelves if you move one of the pegs. On the back is 3 men walking and holding rifles that looks burnt into the back panel.
    I am guessing this is a amish/mission style but if I'm mistaken please let me know. Any info of what this is and it's possible worth would be fantastic!

    That's simple cottage furniture, but has no collectible value per se. Its high-speed production furniture as evidenced by the narrow-board glue-up panels and cut of stock dimension lumber rather than being planed down to thinner material. It would be what I would call a 'functional' grade of furniture but there is no design or quality merit to it, hence it has no real value to it as pre-owned furniture, sorry.

    Thanks for the info. It doesn't matter to me that it doesn't have any real value as I really love this so it'll just have sentimental value. I'm still not sue what it's original funtion was/is but I will make good use of it.

    It's a small display cupboard, as you can see it has plate grooves on each shelf, some storage underneath, and the small balls on the top surface are decorative and keep things from rolling off the edge.
