So manufactured sometime after 1918? I've noticed on a few that the label design is different. Any knowledge if that indicated year?

Thanks for the info. Interesting observation with the granite. Any idea what the year is on this or the cost?

I wonder if there is a trade catalog out there for this company somewhere.

Thanks for the research. I also found this one, it sold, but don't know how much? http://www.bargainjohn.com/f770cTeaCart.htm

Any way to tell the year on this?

I don't have much info on this. Wasn't able to find anything really when searching online for the Knoxville Table & Chair Co. Any ideas?

Hoping to find some more information on this. I did a fair amount of searching and found a few Paalman tea carts on line, but none that looked as this. I found that the Grand Rapids library has information and even possibly brochures, but I haven't been able to see anything. http://www.grapids.lib.mi.us/wiki/images/c/c9/232.pdf

I also saw on the Smithsonian library some info, but also am not able to see. If anyone has any more info that they can share it would be most helpful.

Well on to the piece. See below for pics. What does the Pattern Number mean? Does this help narrow down the year, cost, etc? Thanks again.
