Hello. I was not sure where to post this question. Did some research but did not go far with my quest to find out about company BeautyWood Premier mfg co. Someone give me a set of salad bowls made of maple wood, see photo for markings. I’ll appreciate if you have some info on this company, where it is/was located, anything. As always, thanks very very much
A Google search will bring up information on this manufacturer. Pressed wood as above. It may have had a copper pedestal which would account for the holes. https://www.etsy.com/listing/586009538/set-of-5-piece-pressed-wood-salad-bowl Debora
Company was based in Chicago. Produced bowls in solid wood as well. This is maple according to sticker. Debora
Thanks guys. I removed the metal part to clean it. Yes, these are the same bowls that I have. Thanks for location. Chicago, good to know.
1950s according to the internet. Wonder if this the same company? https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/6341512_149-premier-mfg-vintage-reverse-painted-table-lamp
The lamp was made by a different company. Premier Manufacturing was a woodworking concern. Founded in 1935. Original address 2140 South Kilbourn in Chicago. In 1936 it moved to 2534 South Western Avenue. Founded by Edward Hintz and John Norman. Ed died Sept 1950. Company was dissolved in the 1960's. Besides the bowls and similar items, they manufactured inexpensive painted furniture cabinets (Sold through Marshall Fields). A lot of their early money was made manufacturing plywood railway wheel dust covers. Hope that helps! Louis Sagan (Ed Hintz's grandson)
There were a lot of Syroco pressed wood products back in the 40s. From the picture of the base, I surmised this was also pressed wood. I didn't know it was still being made
