Does anyone have definitive information regarding the Russel Wright and Leslie Diamond attribution to Conant Ball. There is a lot of information out there, especially on Ebay, that suggests Russel Wright did all of the vintage CB furniture. For example, does ALL of Russel Wright designed furniture for CB have his name included in the branding? My suspicion is that most of the CB listing on Ebay are NOT Russel Wright designs.
Any thoughts.

You might
want to redo the title to reflect the subject, like "Russel Wright Vs Leslie Diamond" or there abouts. That way, those who know or are interested can find it more easily or be drawn to your question.

Modernmates by Leslie Diamond
There is significant documentary evidence supporting the fact that Leslie Diamond designed the Conant Ball Modernmates line and absolutely zero historical evidence in support of the Russel Wright attribution.

Thanks Straylight
Thanks for your feedback. I've seen the set in the center picture recently attributed to Russel Wright, incorrectly obviously. Maybe we need a Russel Wright/Leslie Diamond bird dog much like you in your accomplishments with McCobb.
Thanks again.
Here is a site with some additional info on Leslie Diamond I have discovered recently.

wright or diamond?
wright did design the american modern line for conant ball. all of those pieces have his name stamped in the logo of conant ball... until his contract with them ended. then those american modern pieces no longer have his name on them. he did NOT design the modernmates line for conant ball. leslie diamond did. there is a tiny amount of evidence from old magazines and design shows that mr. ball designed modernmates . despite what ann kerr says, there is no evidence that wright designed modernmates. russel wright studios llc says that russell wright has been incorrectly credited with designinging modernmates. that is from the legal dept of russell wright studios... and they should know! this is the document stating that. the info. is near the end.
