      Possibly late 1930's, that is the time when the top back drawers were popular and into the 1940's.

      Thanks Phil, I too believe circa 1925-1935.What confuses me is the way it's constructed (large single split dove-tailed), and the weight-It's like doll furniture.

      Yes, that I cannot comment about without dimensions, or a photo that shows it next to something to put it in proportionate size.
