Guest Marty Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 These pieces of furniture look exactly like the advertisements from Montgomery Wards and Sears in the 1969 newspapers that i have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowisp Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 The side table reminds me of Paul McCobb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumapayam Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) Very retro, reminds me of the stuff from Brady Bunch. Edited May 15, 2007 by Pumapayam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I am not sure what you mean by identify? You mean the style? the time frame (years) this type was made?the maker? please be more clear. All of it seems cool after all these years with the exception of that plaid nighmare. You can still find much of this type in motels on Telephone Rd. but they have bullet holes in them.

Willowisp Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Judging by the tile in the house, the house that he showed us that is for sale in our neighborhood, and the estate sale sign I remember seeing this weekend, I think he bought these items at the estate sale on Stillbrooke and wants to know if we know what they are...

dbigtex56 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 The armchair looks late 40's-early 50's, the end table and credenza maybe mid to late 50's. Definitely pre-Brady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them when looking at the house and thought they were neat. Just curious about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan the Man Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I'm just imagining getting up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water, then bumping into one of the pointed armrests on that chair...OWW!By the way, yes, Inner Loop garbage and estate sales are the best ways to acquire furniture. If you know what you are looking for, and you don't mind doing some minor repairs, you can get some real bargains. I bought a 1920s dining room set at an estate sale for $250, then did some research, and came to find it was worth closer to $5000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoAtomic Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 armchair - early 1950's Viking Art Line. I have 3 of these and they come up for sale pretty often, although I've never seen one with those style armrests. Wish I had made it to that Estate Sale .... PS - love the vintage floor tile in those pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
