<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 262622, member: 5066&quot;]LOL, Hey Bev, YES! &quot; America&#039;s Home Town&quot; could be in danger here on earliest piece of furniture extant! Let the drama begin!</p><p>Actually, i got no dog in that fight as i am a Washington DC kid but hey, i have been known to stir the pot a little. Don&#039;t get me wrong, the Carver, Bradford &amp; Brewster chairs are very impressive early chairs &amp; Pilgrim Hall/ Plimoth Plantation is fortunate to have preserved so many things from long ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>Springfld, yeah, i hear you. The thing is, the &quot;bible&quot; on early american furniture, Wallace Nutting&#039;s Furniture Treasury, first published in 1928, I am guessing at least one third or more of it has been proven wrong in his research. That&#039;s the thing, as time goes along new evidence is discovered about things from long ago and, with the the internet/information age upon us, it&#039;s much easier today to do research than ever before. This is why most scholars today when publishing new research add a caveat to their work, they know as time passes new evidence will emerge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
