Other descriptive data:

BW-3313 - Reconstructed wine cooler - from fragments acquired from Agnes Peter. This cooler was built in 1952 by Wilfred Nietzey of the Mount Vernon carpentry shop, based on evidence from the original parts and images of similar period pieces. The only elements of the piece that date to the eighteenth-century are the two staves with the lion's mask handles and the brass bands. One of the lion's masks was missing a handle. In an effort to give the cooler a uniform appearance, the materials used to fill out the rest of the piece were salvaged from old furniture of unspecified date, which had no relation to the original parts.
