Kewl thanks for the replies.  There's no upolstry(cant spell lol) it's all really thick, heavy wood the chairs, but  steel wool..would that scratch the stain off? it's that old dark stain on the chairs I like the look but I guess if I gotta sacrifice the looks for the smell, I will heehee :rolleyes:

Ya know the old yucky smell that wood can get when it sits for years? Kinda like a mouldy smell, anyways, these old wooden chairs I picked up have it, I can't bring them in my house because of the smell. I used pledge and soapy water but it's still there. Is there a certain cleanser I can buy that gets rid of it?

Anyone know where I might find out more about this washboard I bought? Maybe another website about antiques or forums?

Antique Questions Forum / Norwich Brand Washboards

« on: August 07, 2005, 10:01:51 am »

New here, hoping someone could help me out. I just purchaced a washboard made by West, Taylor and Bickle Co. Limited. It says Norwich Brand NO3 Globe, Montreal and Winnipeg on it. Problem is I've searched everywhere I could possibly think for the history on the company. I found some info on West, Taylor and Bickle but it only says they made brooms in Toronto. Does anyone here collect washboards too? This is my first one, I know they aren't worth usually more then $30.00 CAN., but I'm so curious about their history.
   have a nice day!
