<p>[QUOTE="Mill Cove Treasures, post: 203717, member: 60"]There was a Paine Furniture Co. in Boston on Arlington Street. They occupied a very large building on multiple floors and the furniture was considered very good quality but not as high end as a company like Kittinger. The company dated back to the mid 1800's. If those are from the USA, they may been left there by someone who moved to England.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I lived in Boston, I had a neighbor who worked for a company that specialized in moving households overseas for people who had been transferred or hired by larger companies. The company would pay all the moving expenses and it was very expensive so I can see why someone would leave things behind if they had to pay for the return trip. Some people may have just sold things off while living there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
