I don't know the answer to your question, but I know that there are specific nuances to the style of a piece that will reveal to a competent appraiser whether it was made in Connecticut or New York. Sometimes they can even identify the exact maker by a unique characteristic like a certain curve, the size of a leg or foot, the type of wood, etc. It would be worth having a knowledgeable appraiser look at it. You might need to insure it if it turns out to be a very valuable piece. Would love to hear the end of the story someday.
