<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 12353717, member: 3235"]Yes, correct info. This one is missing it's rectangular 'Cushman Colonial Creation' metal tag they used on all pieces until 1941 (relaced by the oval tag). Thankfully virtually all Cushman Creations is incised with name and model number. As far as the Pat. applied mark . . it's hard to say - this piece could be very early in the new line, 1933. Cushman was very secretive and proud of their eight part finishing process, and may have been discouraging copy cats (many producers did this. Within a couple of years other furniture companies were doing just that, but none were as nice as Cushman in quality. Very briefly in 1933-34 they made some second label furniture for other firms (same as Cushman models), but their line soon took of and there was no need to do this any longer, I've bought and sold Cushman for 35 years and currently have about 20 pieces.
