J. B. Van Shiver Co Table and Chairs set

Description

I have a J. B. Van Shiver Co Table and Chairs set. It includes 4 regular chairs and 2 captains chairs. There is also a card top for the top of the table. The card top is approximately 1/2 inch thick. I also have a leaf for the table. I believe that the chairs may have been reupolstered. There is a little plate on the bottom of some of them that says J. B. Van Shiver Co. I have no idea of the value or even if there is any value. Any ideas?
