<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 4334996, member: 6444"]I disagree, looks hand carved to me. But I certainly agree that this is a reproduction and not an original - not just glueblocks but other details say clearly not period. They didn't have carving machines to do work like this in early 20th century, and handcarving of a few details would not take that long or be too expensive. But definitely better than most of the dining chairs being churned out from US factories, with no handcarving at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Too many possible manufacturers to come up with a list, many unknown now. A pair of chairs is always much better and much easier to sell than a single dining side chair. So stress that in the listing and pics, and be willing to dicker.</p><p><br /></p><p>Will be interested in your game table, I have seen a lot of 19th century ones kicking around here in New England.
