Re: Bedroom Bench

The metal tag looks like the one from 1927 or 1951 not exactly like either http://www.furniturecityhistory.org/company/3645/johnson-furniture-co I’m not a member of this group so don’t know for sure but it may be of some help to you https://www.facebook.com/groups/grvintagemarketplace/ This bedroom set on Instappraisal has a smaller bench by the same company and I believe same time period https://instappraisal.com/appraisal/bedroom-set-22

Re: Bedroom Bench

Nice piece in the Colonial Revival Style, a style meant to resemble pieces made in Britain and Colonial America prior to 1780. You did well to get the piece for $60.00, it's by a high quality maker, we'd retail one for about $175.00.
