[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 391884, member: 136"]Hi, John, and welcome! A brief google search gives a fairly good amount of info about Ebert Furniture. The company was founded in Philadelphia in 1854 and moved to Red Lion, PA in 1917. They produced bedroom suites, secretaries, dining room sets and cabinets. Furniture production stopped during WWII, when the factory switched to making gunstocks. After the war, they went back to making furniture until the company was sold to Bethlehem Furniture Company in 1959. I believe that the 8/53 shown on your label is a date and indicates when that particular "buffet" was made and shipped to the person in Philadelphia who purchased it. It is a very nice piece of furniture, but it is not an antique.[/QUOTE]
