By donna7238, 12 August, 2012
Description

I had researched this years ago and found out the following information:

This was made by "Brothers" in ohio in the early 1900's.  They had started a furniture store during the coal mining era.  On the back of it the following information is engraved/burned into the wood.

THE. B.B. CO

580

A.M. HaL

WINCRATED (not sure about spelling on this signature)

Does anyone know what the value of this item is?

Re: Antique Buffet

Do the letters say "THE" B.B. co. ? There is a furniture company out of Ohio called  Brickwede Brothers. Have you found a brass tag inside the drawers or anywhere else on it, or some small holes where a tag/plate would have been? 

 

"Brickwede furniture manufacturing company was in Marietta Ohio from 1917 until 1959. The company gets its name from the Brickwede brothers who owned the company. 

They shipped, by train, furniture to New York, Chicago and even San Francisco. 


Brickwede Brothers started out making tea wagons in 1853. They were still making them in 1929 and selling them in Marietta through Marietta Furniture Company."

Re: Antique Buffet

Your cabinet is walnut and is the Colonial Revival style and dates from the first quarter of the 20th century. Most like this one were once part of a whole dining suite, which tend to be separateds as the result of inheritances over the years. Value for them vary buy condition, one like this we'd retail in the $400-$600.00 range.

Re: Antique Buffet

All the numbers generally are for is just model identification/finish type or inventory control , none of which will have any effect on value for mass produced furniture of this type.

Re: Antique Buffet

You can used colored furniture wax, "Minwax" makes one in a walnut shade that will hide scratches that are not too deep. Most places like hardware stores carry it, sometimes you have to order it in if it's not in stock.
