John & Ralph Widdicombe Bedroom Set

By dandk_bishop, 23 April, 2010
Description

This is a full bedroom suite including a full size headboard, footboard, and rails, a desk with seat, a dresser, and two nightstands. We aren't sure of the date. On the back of several of the pieces is scratched 1947, and on the rails there is a stamp that says 1969 with another stamp on top of it that says 1976. See pic. Ralph Widdicombe worked for the John Widdicomb Co. until 1951 when he retired, so I am fairly certain these pieces are from before 1950. It has a Grand Rapids certification number of F-5466. These pieces were left in a Lake Cottage my parents bought that they were going to demolish. They are in fantastic condition.
