| Hi:
I just purchased an antique dining set and I am trying to locate some info on it. I think it is probably 20s or 30s, because of the large carved legs, but I maybe wrong. I'm new to antiques - except the liking of them. Anyway, on the underside of the table tob is a stencil that says S. Kohn & Sons Furniture. There is also a paper tag attached to the table base at the top that has some numbers and some words that I can't make out and the words furniture store. If any one knows any thing about S. Kohn & Sons Furniture, please let me know. I will try to get a photo of the table, chairs and sideboard posted by tomorrow. |

| There is info all over the internet on S. Kohn and sons, a furniture manufactory located in Cleveland, Ohio. Here is one link you might enjoy reading. They've been at it for quite awhile and we'd love to see a picture of your set. Here is one link with some personal history on its founder Solomon Kohn and below is another link about the store. http://books.google.com/books?id=X4AUAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA459&lpg=PA459&dq=s. kohn+and+sons+furniture&source=bl&ots=kKqO9YbDgX&sig=krp4h45flWI9sTEM6 -Eot8UptMo&hl=en&ei=Dz8kTpDKFML50gGJuOm9BA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=resu lt&resnum=4&ved=0CCsQ6AEwAzgK#v=onepage&q&f=false |
