Chad - Do you have an opinion whether this is a commercially made footstool or a project put together by, say, a student? My daughter found a footstool in the dumpster behind her apartment, oak or walnut, can't remember, anyway a very well put together footstool. Needed refinishing and upholstering but when finished seemed a quality object. On the bottom, written in heavy ink was a very uncommon name and K. U. 1967. She, like you, was interested in the maker and ran the name, which believe me was uncommon, on Yahoo Find People and found someone with that name who was a dentist in some town in Ohio. Makes you wonder where it had been all these years. She lives only about fifty miles from Kansas University.
