Dining Table

11 years ago

My fiancée and I have a dining room table that we had bought and are trying to figure out how old it is and such. The bottom of the chairs say it was made by the Richardson Brothers Company who started back in 1848. The only other numbers are 1 74 D 622. Is there anyone who may be able to help us find out more information and maybe a couple of pictures please?

this is the bottom of the chair.
this is the table and it also came with two inserts to make it bigger.

    maybe contact the company to ask about your pieces.

    RICHARDSON BROTHERS
    PO Box 907, Sheboygan Falls, WI 53085.
    (920)467-4631, Fax (920)467-3850
    In 1848, company founder Joseph Richardson began clearing land at his
    new homestead in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin with the intention of
    farming. He had an opportunity to acquire the saw milling machinery
    enabling him to process and sell the logs he was clearing, and soon
    decided he preferred the lumber business to agriculture.

    Several years later, in addition to selling raw lumber, he began making
    wood products and selling those, too. These products became more and
    more sophisticated until by the late 1800’s he and his sons were making
    and selling fine furniture. Now, more than 150 years later, Richardson
    Brothers Company is part of a diverse yet focused corporation called
    Richardson Industries.

    Along with the Richardson Brothers brand of solid wood dining and
    bedroom furniture, the corporation also makes roof and floor trusses
    under the Richco name, does wood treating from Richardson Wood
    Preserving, maintains three commercial lumber yards in Sheboygan county,
    selling building materials and kitchen cabinets, along with home design
    services. And finally, they run a full line retail furniture store in
    Sheboygan Falls.
    The common thread throughout all of these varied ventures is this: each
    has something to do with the home; designing it, building it, and
    ultimately furnishing it. This is the symbiotic relationships between
    company divisions that enables each one to excel, since they understand
    the larger relationship their products ultimately play in improving the
    quality of life for their customers.
    Through all this, the company has maintained a reputation for solid wood
    furniture that gives the consumer a great value- a lot of furniture for
    a fair price. Over the years they have continued that tradition and
    expanded their line to include bedroom and bar stools. They haven’t
    tried to be all things to everyone which allows them to keep refining
    and perfecting their line so that you get more and more value. The
    Country Oak Collection is a beautiful solid oak classic country look
    that can even fit in a transitional setting. This is a very versatile
    group with enough tables, chairs and hutches to choose from that you can
    outfit a tiny kitchen or a huge dining room that will seat twelve. From
    dining to bedroom, as well as 75 occasional pieces all their
    collections are crafted from a wide variety of the industry's finest
    hardwoods, including: cherry, oak, maple, birch, pine, walnut, beech and
    South American Pearlwood.

    They normally use a date stamp so I'm guessing it was made in January of 1974.

    The table is worth what someone will pay you for it. For info about it, why don't you contact the manufacturer? They are still in business http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/richardson-industries-inc-history/
