<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 269707, member: 5066"]Interesting if it's the same guy who branded your stand. Meanwhile, another scotsman in NYC, Duncan Phyfe, never marked or labeled his furniture some say because of "carpenters conceit". He thought it impossible to replicate his designs or flawless woodworking skills so why bother with putting a label on his furniture? Phyfe was dead wrong on both counts which is why today unless you have a bill of sale or the piece descended from a family member you are left with "attributed to", kind of a sad state of affairs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
