Paris Manufacturing Co., South Paris, Maine dining set (Table No. 15)with 4 chairs and matching buffet table.. All in Excellent condition. 2 Chairs need wood glue to hold in some of the spindles..
clay jug, grayish in color, with black drippings on it. There is a number 3 between two of the drippings. The name of the distillery and location is printed on the front. It has a clay handle on the top of the jug.
I contacted some family members of the Watkins Brothers Furniture Company, Lee and Bruce Watkins. The family business existed from around the 1880s to the 1980s. The Watkins Brothers label changed several times over the company's history, and the label on this table was not used after the early 1940s. Earlier than that, they could not date the table for me. It was likely made by one of their smaller facilities as they didn't start using larger manufacturing processes until after WWII. Table has 2 drawers, one on each end.
I have 3 pieces of silver...a silver ladel from the John Bartram Hotel a round silver tray with Ritz Carton P. mark on it. An oval silver basket tray? This also has Ritz Carton P. mark. Hard to tell what it is used for. If you could give me any information and value of what these pieces are worth it will be appreciated.
