<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 4417252, member: 33&quot;]I believe the date range of 1850-1954 came from the Dictionary of British and Irish Furniture Makers, as transcribed on this website: <a href="https://bifmo.history.ac.uk/entry/goodall-edward-e-goodall-co-goodall-lamb-heighway-1850-1954" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://bifmo.history.ac.uk/entry/goodall-edward-e-goodall-co-goodall-lamb-heighway-1850-1954" rel="nofollow">https://bifmo.history.ac.uk/entry/goodall-edward-e-goodall-co-goodall-lamb-heighway-1850-1954</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The date range refers to when the company was in business.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just tried to determine when that label might have been used. The only reference I&#039;ve found to it that gives a true date (not an estimate) was to an account statement dated 1936, described at <a href="https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/553a15d4-205a-4db4-8b04-85f95b2fb4ec" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/553a15d4-205a-4db4-8b04-85f95b2fb4ec" rel="nofollow">https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/553a15d4-205a-4db4-8b04-85f95b2fb4ec</a></p><p><br /></p><p>In looking at the company history, it appears that it&#039;s possible the phrase on the label might have been used at various times through the company&#039;s history and that it is not the name of the company itself. I was hoping that it would be the company name and would help more specifically date the piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>GHopper24 and verybrad are knowledgeable about the time frames for furniture manufacture, [USER=23422]@S Glanz[/USER] .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
