[QUOTE="uriema40, post: 971871, member: 12215"]Hello Everyone! I am so excited to have found this "active" forum. I have always loved antiques but never started collecting anything, worried I'd spend too much. So now my daughters and I have started shopping at goodwill and other thrift shops. We recently found 2 chairs that just looked really old but sturdy. One of them has a tag underneath says "Tell City" and "Mahogany 27" so I have googled them. However, it looks like they are either the real thing or knock offs because the wood almost feels like engineered wood. Also, the one with the rose carved back is not as "pretty" and neatly done as others I have seen online. I just removed the original fabric from the seat today and removed 4 screws from each one as well as small little nails and tacks that were used to hold it in place. Also, the padding is definitely old time--looks like straw in there too..LOL Can anyone help me figure this out? Thanks:)[/QUOTE]
