<p>[QUOTE="JimboJFouldsy, post: 433762, member: 9240"]Hey there again! I brought a bunch of the info to the Thrift Store and they were very grateful. I've been able to find many similar examples online. Speaking with the manager at the Thrift Store, the information that they had on it was from the daughter of the woman who owned it (who had passed away). The owner had purchased it in the 1960s at an antique store in Toronto, and had brought it with up North to this city some time in the early 70s, when her husband took a job here (some sort of lumber company exec). The lady's children are all in Southern Ontario and out West and they just wanted to donate the furniture to good causes.</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, they had dropped the price to $1000 CAD, so I think I might go buy it. It really is nice. So it's looking like this might end up being my first purchase of an antique furniture. I'll just have to make sure it is OK with my wife first <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> .</p><p><br /></p><p>I might be back asking for advice on where to find a restoration expert <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again everyone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
