I was given an old dresser to refinish and found this writing in one of the drawers. I would like to know where this old piece began it's life but can't figure out what this says. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Connie beat me to it! Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information about Beaver Red Mills in Brooklyn. Please let us know, Cindy, if your research is more successful. Good luck!

I found references in newspaper archives for a rod mill in Beaver Falls, PA. Perhaps it was from Beaver Falls and going to Brooklyn?

To me it looks like Beaver Key Mill..but I googled and found nothing. However, I did find a saw mill company called Beaver Enterprises in Northport NY which I believe is part of Long Island...they might be same company that evolved over the years? http://northport-ny.cylex-usa.com/company/beaver-enterprises-saw-mill-5120119.html

I am seeing Beaver Run, which might have been somewhere in the Beaver Valley of PA and DE or even OH.

Maybe "From Beaver house (or home) in _____ NY" . Maybe it was from an auction or estate sale. My mother would write something like that on a piece of furniture.

Board could be recycled off a shipping crate to repair a broken drawer or to construct a new drawer for that matter. I have a old crate that my father had shipped home when he was in wwll or shortly after that was wood and address was written in black like that. People of eras gone by didn't throw much away,
