vintage metal chest of drawers and wardrobe

[debbyo1]

I have two pieces of metal furniture made by Simmons Co.  One is a chest of drawers and one is a wardrobe with drawers on one side and hanger on the other.  I have researched extensively on the internet but cannot find  any info.  I emailed the only Simmons Co listed but have not had a reply.
These pieces are finished to look like wood, and they both are on casters.  On the back is stamped scheme 175 and 11-40.  I am only looking to see when they were made.  I expect they may have been made for hospitals or instutional use since they are very mobile and would be fire proof.  Very nice pieces.  Thanks

Welcome to the forum debbyo1 ! Without pics I'm just winging it here......could this possibly relate to your Simmons?

Am also finding references to Norman Bel Geddes  (rather than the 'John' mentioned above) in regards
to metal furniture for Simmons. 1930's period.

Here are just two of the ones I found...
