Antique Questions Forum / Antique Bed (100+ years old?) Looking for Information...

« on: July 11, 2010, 09:41:14 pm »

I recently inherited this bed from my great aunt's estate.  I was always told it was over 100 years old, not sure of the exact manufacturer date however.  I have been unable to find any type of makes mark or company seal on the bed in any location.  The only mark of any kind is located in two places.  On the bottom inside of the headboard and bottom inside of the footboard, burned into the wood is the same number: 1756 5/8.  Pictures below, click on thumbnail for a larger view.
