[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 435676, member: 136"]Kristin, I went looking for the maker of those casters. Loach & Clarke's was listed in the 1886 edition of [I]The Furniture Gazette [/I](published in London) under "cabinet & general brassfoundry".

I believe that somewhere in that Gazette, I saw that they were around starting sometime in 1869. All of the examples I've found of furniture with their casters has been English and Victorian era.
