<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drew, post: 10219187, member: 3235&quot;]Well in general Colonial furniture reproductions were very popular in the 1920&#039;s due to Sesquicentennial, the 150th anniversary of the country. This started to fade by the early 30&#039;s and sales for all furniture makers really suffered - and the Great depression put many out of business. As I mentioned, Cushman was in real trouble when a furniture designer named Herman Devries walked through the front door trying to sell his quirky modernist Colonial designs - many companies said &#039;No thanks&#039;, but Cushman said yes, hiring him. Hence the 1933 introduction of CCC line. The public loved the furniture, sales boomed and the company survived, and even thrived, staying popular up to the mid 50&#039;s when it faded. Even in the 30&#039;s makers started copying Cushman, but the quality fell short (folks today sell such pieces claiming &quot;unmarked Cushman&quot;. . . this is false. 99% of their furniture is marked.</p><p>I started buying in the 80&#039;s when many pieces were $20. or free in many cases. I&#039;ve owned about 100 pieces through the years. Here&#039;s my Woodstock model from 1941, one of the most modern looking CCC pieces offered and pretty rare. My dog even loves it !</p><p>&nbsp; <img src="https://scontent-bos5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/459669696_2553700188149907_8058623142285259589_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=aa7b47&amp;_nc_ohc=LiaUPRk5dVMQ7kNvgH4b7tS&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-bos5-1.xx&amp;_nc_gid=AGwEZaf68SuofJbxUJ9dhEG&amp;oh=00_AYDYpRhfNHgl8pgOpardG_syxPc9iaARTTE82Wc0HVeSLA&amp;oe=67905671" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />g[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
