<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 354804, member: 3235"]Cushman Furniture of N. Bennington VT. introduced this type of modern/colonial design in 1933. . . they used yellow birch with a russet finish. Rounded corners, very solid construction are the characteristics of the many companies that followed Cushman's lead. Popularity dropped way off after 1953-4 when most furniture makers went to a more traditional Colonial design. Your pieces look like they could be 1930's -40's, which that label looks like, and refinished at one time. It's worth looking closely underneath for a CUSHMAN imprint stamped into the wood, because they produced furniture for retailers (Priscilla label). Particularly your chair looks very Cushman like. I will look at my catalogs to see if it is ? I collect Cushman and have seen second labeling for retailers of their furniture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
