Antique Questions Forum / Re: Does anyone know what this is???

Just a guess, but to me it looks to be an Eames era "entertainment cabinet".   The Stereo would've been in components, and the top section would've held a turntable, so it would've needed access to the top.  A television could also have gone in the middle-The TV would not have been large, but would've had a rabbit-ear antenna.  What is inside the doors?  Shelving or open space?  What type of wood is it made from?

Antique Questions Forum / Re: Duncan Fife 7 piece dining set

Not sure how much this will help, but I paid $1250 for a Duncan Phyfe set a few years ago from a private antique dealer.  The set is in very good (not excellent) condition, and included a very large table (with 3 leaves), 6 chairs (not original to the set though), a large china cabinet (top damage not visible) and a side piece.

Antique Questions Forum / Hall vs. Forman Family?

« on: August 14, 2007, 08:12:43 am »

Hello.  Can anyone briefly explain what the deal is with the "Forman Family" in regard to Hall teapots.  It seems the value is somewhat less, and it is less collectible, but I'd like to know the who, what and why of the Forman Family line.  Thank you!
