[QUOTE="E in Az, post: 4588445, member: 78579"]Hello, I can offer you some more information on this line of furniture. This was made by the Williams Furniture company in the mid 1960s. It was from a line of children's bedroom sets. Price point would have been upper middle Class. The darker wood series with the vertical hammered brass accents separate from the pulls with a diamond shaped backing is from the “Adventure” series. This series was marketed as a nautical /pirate themed line. The pieces offered were : 6 drawer dresser, 4 door dresser, 3 drawer dresser, night stand, desk, corner desk, chair, trundle bed, toy chest, mirror, Bunk Beds, Head board, and high boy 1, high boy 2. The desk and dressers could also be ordered to include a separate backed upper bookshelf (Bookcase hutch) that sat on top. There was a lighter natural/blond version of these same pieces that was marketed as the “Bunkhouse” series that was western/cowboy themed. Basically the same pieces in lighter wood. In this series the outside vertical brass drawer accents were deleted and instead combined to hold the spade shaped hammered brass pulls. I grew up with this bedroom set and still have some of my original pieces. Unfortunately I lost a couple pieces in the 80s not understanding how much they would mean to me later in life. I have recently found some pieces online. I purchased and restored them which is easy to do for this rustic series. I'm becoming a bit obsessed with it now. The quality is decent and the pricing is still pretty affordable with most pieces being in the $200-300 range for good condition items -2022. Now each of my kids has a set. I still have the original sales brochure saved by my mom including photos and dimensions of all the pieces. I have uploaded a small scan of the brochure (sorry for the quality as this site doesn't allow for larger files it seems). I'm still looking for the chest and trundle bed so if anyone has one for sale please contact me! Hope this helps! E[/QUOTE]
