Good story.  Makes you wonder... I only live about 3 minutes from KU

On the bottom it has the numbers 412 and it appears to be a stencil/stamp.  It is not hand written.  Interesting trying to find the maker.  The 412 could also be a stamp from the vendor, seller, or moving company or something.  I'm going to refinish it and enjoy.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info.  That's kind of what I figured.  If it aint the real deal then it's not worth much.  At least in this case.  I'll see what I can get for it.

Thanks.

Thanks for the input folks.

The 'bolts'/ tacks are original.  Interesting...

I would still like to know a maker if anyone knows.

Thanks!

I would like to sell this table and chair set but need to know more about it.  I'm having trouble finding out any information.  It appears to be a Duncan Phyfe copy???  Table is in 9/10 condition and 4 of the 6 chairs are probably 7/10 and 2 need some real help.  One of the chairs is missing parts to the back.  The rods on the back are brass. The feet on the table are brass.  There is a 1' leaf but it has a bad veneer chip on the corner.  I do have the table pad and it is on fine shape.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

Hello,
Can someone please help identify this footstool.  I'm looking to find the maker and some value estimates.  I really like it and unless it's worth a lot I'm considering refinishing and upholstering it for my personal use.

The only mark I can find is on the bottom " 412 ".  I do not know if the pattern on the top was a decoration or something sat on it.  All of the tacks are accounted for and the corner looking bolts are actually tacks too.

Here are additional pictures.  Thanks!
