HiTom,

I am from Vancouver, BC. I recently bought an old antique dresser from a retired Aussie. The label in the back also has the M.Friedman & Co. San Francisco on the back. Im also wondering it worth. there was easily 5 coats of paint on it. it has two smaller drawers on the top and 4 drawers that follow with original handles.
