    I found this dresser by Karges. It seams like it used to have a mirror on it. I contacted them and that's what I got
    I wish we had the history but this is a very old piece going back to the original furniture made by Karges in the late 1800's. You do have a true antique piece of furniture (a true antique is 100 years old) by Karges Furniture, but we are unable to identify an exact year because Kindel Furniture acquired Karges Furniture in 2014 and the original records are no longer available.
    I wish someone can tell me more about the history of it.

      Your best and probably only bet left is to go to evansville public library and to the history room and see what they might have. Usually most companies left no records with absolutely nothing on the internet. A public library saves clipping and postcards from a lot of companies.

      Your dresser appears to be made of oak.

      I would date it into the 20th century-- probably the first quarter due to the term "chifforobe" on the label.

      I would consider it an antique as well.

      Values are regional. In my area, I would expect this to be in the $125- $200 range as it needs some work and is not complete (missing mirror).

      It is still a nice piece of solid wood furniture.

      Y'all are awesome, I don't know about the library anytime soon but definitely worth working on it. Thank you all

      Glad to help!

      From my experience, most libraries are limited on their resources (I don't live in a big city). I have found that the most current and detailed information can be found through detailed online research.

      Good luck.
