Reply to Rsposta4u's Post: these are close, but not what I'm looking for. What I have were used by the military, being moved from place to place. I can email you pictures I have, before I started stripping the paint off. Under this white paint they are military green, inside and out. They may be older than I think. They resemble one of the pictures dated 1884. They are tung and grooved, with locks that have to be pulled down to open the drawers. Does this help?

I am sure the furniture above are much closer to what you have. I have communicated with several military dealers and have found that the person below is the #1 person to contact about vintage military furniture,

I was looking for when the military started painting their items the grab olive since you stated that was the original color. The army, from what I can gather, did not start using the drab olive color until WW1. I believe your pieces are older that. Look at the hardware in the above pictures. I believe it is very close to the hardware on the pictures you sent me. If the furniture you have belonged to me, I would contact the people above since they are the authority on vintage military furniture. The value of your items would only be a hundred dollars or so unless you find a collector of military furniture and then the sky could be the limit. Good luck.
