<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 10217659, member: 3235"]The ad posted indicates "Cushman Reproductions" which is in line with their 1920's furniture. The 'Cushman Colonial Creation' furniture was introduced in 1933 and had the rectangular metal tags 1933-41, stating 'Cushman Colonial Creation'. They switched to an oval plastic tag for the war years due to metal shortages. In 1946 they stated making the same oval tag out of brass, still marked 'Cushman Colonial Creation', which was used up to 1964 when they did a slight design change (still a brass oval) until 1971 and Cushman's demise. Additionally, CCC pieces are incised 'Cushman' into the wood on the bottom or back of pieces (sometimes missing, but rarely). In 35 years I've never seen a CCC with a paper label, but have seen them on many pieces from 1910-'32. Finally, the model numbering is different in the Above ad and your chair than the CCC line.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
