Description
This buffet was inherited from my grandmother. The label on the inside and the "11" stamped on the back seem to be the only markings. It is in good condition, with a few scratches. I believe it is the original finish, doesn't seem like it has had anything done to alter the origial finish. I have been trying to research Rockford Furniture Company, but so far not coming up with a whole lot of info.
