Description
Dumpster Diver David found two chairs identical at local dump. Someone did not want to throw them away. David grabbed them and brought these two chairs home(Gainesville,FL). The label is (worn but readable of their origin) from Gardner, Massachusetts. Nichols and Stone furniture, we looked up and found out, is the oldest continental USA furniture maker in America! We cannot find these chairs on any Nichols and Stone website,however. Does anyone know about our chairs? Thank you!

Re: Rare Nichols and Stone antique chairs?
Re: Rare Nichols and Stone antique chairs?
we have 8 of these chairs in our garage (circa 1950). We were going to basically give them away at a garage sale next weekend. We need to reconsider. The N/S is not burned into the wood underneath, but etched.
Re: Rare Nichols and Stone antique chairs?
Hi, I'm new to the site so I don't know how old this post is, I don't see a date anywhere. I just wanted to know if you ever got more information on your chairs? I found a rocker with this same mark today in a thrift store and there is just NOTHING on the internet anywhere dating this exact mark. Thanks, Christine
