<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 306862, member: 5066"]Yeah, even then it is very rare to get a signed piece, it just wasn't something american shops did back then. Even famous shops in the 19th century like Duncan Phyfe in NYC did not sign his pieces, he thought his woodworking skills & designs were so good it wasn't needed, it would be impossible to copy his work, naturally he was wrong on both counts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
