<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 1317601, member: 5170&quot;]Hi Sarah!</p><p><br /></p><p>These chairs were widely made across the U.S......I&#039;m assuming that&#039;s where you are?&nbsp; The &quot;M&quot; may refer to a number of things, i.e. an internal inventory number, a date (perhaps 1900?) or even the first initial of the maker. I&#039;m inclined to go with the internal inventory explanation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said all that, I&#039;d say your chair is right around 1900, say 1890 to 1910, probably later rather than earlier. I can see a very handsome chair if you choose to restore it, but be aware: the &quot;brown furniture&quot; antique market has tanked (though I continue to love it) and the value of your chair, even if it were restored to a &quot;T,&quot; would probably not exceed $50.00. </p><p><br /></p><p>So restoration would be a labor of love, although you&#039;d have a very attractive chair at the end of it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
