Indiana about thirty years ago. All three bulbs are intact and work. They were manufactured, I think, in 1911. There is a label inside each bulb with the date of manufacture on it, but since my eyes are also antiques, I can no longer read them. I am interested in selling these items.

It has a merlot-colored velvet seat. Can anyone refer me to someone who would not only know its value but where we could sell it?

Marc Gruther, Curator Henry Ford Museum Our family has 6 Black walnut caned-seated chairs made by the Detroit Chair Factory with rounded seats rather that squared off. The name is imprinted on the back of the caned-seat, no dates are apparent. When we were visiting in Museum in about 1984, we found some similar chairs but, of course, did not pursue it at that time. Now we would like a picture and more detail about the company of Detroit Chair Factory. We have some information from the article "19th Centry Mass-Produced American Furniture, Two Companies Led the Way in Ready-Made Chairs". Could you send us some pictures of similar chairs made by Detroit Chair Co? Do you recognize the fact that our chairs have the round chair seats and beautiful carved back-slat that has TWO inlays of lighter (in color) wood, with much carving as well as the rounded arms (carved) are also rounded not square.... Please let me hear from you via my email or we can correspond with postal mail if you have pictures and many other copies for me. I will not be coming to the Museum, so I need to do this by email or mail. I will send my address, if you ask. Sincerely, Corrine Sandberg, Family Historian. Aug 9, 2011 J. Marc Gruther, Curator
