I am looking for information on a bookcase that I believe to be a Daniel Pabst piece. It was originally in one of the mansions that were torn down in the Bensalem (Andalusia) riverfront area of Bucks County. The mansion was one of many that were located where the Salem Harbor community exists today. Please see the photos attached. Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

aquajwl,
Why do you believe the bookcase is attributable to Daniel Pabst? For example, is there a provenance beyond what you've indicated, a comparable "known Pabst" piece we may be unaware of, or other information that would not be apparent from a photograph?
