[QUOTE="danieljwerning, post: 1029884, member: 12406"]This sofa was passed to me from my father-in-law, who received it from his father-in-law who lived in Springfield MO in the late 1800s. It was most likely purchased around that time in St. Louis MO, although it could be older, of course. 1. What can you tell me about this sofa, its age, maker and style? Unless someone can give me a clue as to hidden location, I am unable to locate any maker's mark on it. 2. I am aware that the re-upholstering job is not authentic. Tell me what the proper material should be, and how it would affect the sofa's value if current upholstery was replaced. 3. What would you estimate the sofa's approximate value at? If anyone wants any further closeup pictures from a different angle, can do. It is upholstered now, though. Thank you.[/QUOTE]
