<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 339498, member: 3235"]OK, it looks like you have a 'Peter Schuyler' night table # 4-162 with the wrong # on the tag. Produced from 1934-45. Neat piece. This is what Cushman collectors like...modernish/colonial - with a twist. Topped off with their russet finish which they introduced to the furniture industry, and was heavily copied in the 30s & 40s....but the Cushman finish was much nicer then their competitions. One more detail...Cushman used Northern yellow birch, not maple as many people believe. They felt it was superior to maple in terms of strength, resisting dents and grain which enhanced the finish. Cushman was a multi generational family company that really cared about quality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
