Atop the case is a decorative backboard and a recessed unit of three small drawers. Each drawer that constitutes the unit has one keyhole flanked by two knobs and molded edges. The drawers are constructed with small dovetails, with the front dovetails disguised by beading. The drawer bottoms are chamfered and slide into grooves which run along the drawer sides and secured across the back edge by nails. A flat top with molded edges extends forward beyond the top drawers and constitutes the top of the projecting central drawer. One-half inch thick panels are set within framing members that are two inches thick. Horizontal rails are tenoned into the side stiles, which have the drawer runners nailed into the them. The upper section is screwed to the top of the case and the case sides are screwed to the bottom. From the bottom corners of the main drawer are ormolu capitals and bases to columns which are tenoned into the bottom framework and terminate in baluster turned feet. The back is framed by a spline into which are fitted the two side panels.  Inside top drawer of the bottom tier of drawers is stenciled twice: [T. HUNT & CO. / Cabinet & Chair / Manufacturers / No. 85 Newbury St. / Boston]. On top overhanging drawer is inscribed in pencil: [Refinished by Joe S. Dentz for A.E. Kennedy / 1016 Conn. Ave. Wash. D.C.]. On the bottom of the bottom board written in pencil is: [B.].  As of 1989, according to Charles Venable, the case was noted as in good condition overall. Several sets of drawer pulls have been replaced in its lifespan. One set was oval in shape. All of the locks for the upper tier of drawers are missing and several drawer runners have been replaced. Also, there has been some minor loss in the veneer."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"7/20/2018"},{"label":"Marks, Signatures, and Inscriptions","value":"Stenciled twice inside top drawer of the bottom tier of drawers: [T.
