@@Antique_TreasureHunt sd Other than watching Desert Drifter recently.. I lived in New Mexico and went to the Dog Canyon exhibit which has ancient stairs leading up to the Mesa. I was climbing up and did what you would do which is put my hand on the surface to help myself up. So I guess a lot of little handed people had done it because I placed my hand in a perfect hand shaped eroded spot. The conservationist at the front desk smiled and said, yes it’s been there for along time.
That's a great observation! Miniature furniture like those beds and dressers often served as salesman samples or display pieces, showcasing craftsmanship and design. Have you seen other examples of intricate miniatures used for showcasing products?

Wouldn't those mini bed and dresser be a salesman sample like the mini iron stoves and such?
