This chair originallyt belonged to my grandmother. The story goes that it was in her house growing up. She was born in 1892 in Basile, Switzerland. Her parents had immigrated there from Alsace Lorraine. They spoke French, my grandmother, growing up in Basile, spoke German.
My great grand father was pipe organ maker. He moved his family to Erie, PA in the early 1900's, before 1910.
The chair has no nails. It is entirely made with slots- the back fits into a slot. Probably once had dowels to hold it, but they are missing. The legs are held in place by shims driven into the top of each leg.
I know nothing about it's age at all. Thanks for your help.

Its a simple little table in good condition the legs sides and trim are darker and the table surface is a lighter color. I don't know much about it my grandma gave it to me it has two stickers inside the drawer one is the imperial grand rapids mitc. Logo and the other is the mahogany association inc. Logo with the number 123 on it and on the bottom 2008 is stamped on in bold black numbers, I don't know if this is the date or product number or what. I was going to redo it until I saw these stickers. I'm just curious on how much its worth.
