<p>[QUOTE="2unique, post: 213815, member: 4082"]Hi! I have had this mantel for 15 years and discovered there is alot of history to it about 10 years ago.. The help/advice I needed is it's a C. B. Atkin mantel from Knoxville, TN. We found documents behind the mirror with newspaper from 1891 and a letter along with a stamp on the back from 1895! So what I know is it's 121 yrs old and in great condition, I am the 3rd owner of it. I have read all about the company and the Atkin family. I can't find the info to get the exact model of it, so I am not sure how to find the value of it. Thanks in advance for any input. This is my 1st post so hopefully I'm adding the pics correctly! I just found the pic of the letter trying to upload it now, file is to large.</p><p>~</p><p>~</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 1390]Mantle pics by 2unique posted Feb 19, 2017 at 12:03 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 1389]Mantle pics by 2unique posted Feb 19, 2017 at 12:03 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 1391]Mantle pics by 2unique posted Feb 19, 2017 at 12:03 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 1392]Mantle pics by 2unique posted Feb 19, 2017 at 12:03 PM[/GALLERY][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
