It was made in 1948 by Hungerford of Memphis --- says so in the top drawer.

Thank you for any help.

#542 cool wavy chair
I am having trouble describing the chair, but here goes. It has a high back (more than the normal desk chair) and it is made from one piece of wood in a wave fashion. I love the chair and we have always used it as a desk chair. Any other info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
sara

And as we learned
on an unrelated post; lack of a picture launches a thousand missives 🙂

Mahogany Association
I have two dressers with the Mahogany Association sticker. The # is 204. They have big brass pulls. I had them refinished so they look mahogany, not the light color they were originally. What would they be worth? bkm

Mahogany Association Numbers
I'm trying to price some of my grandmothers furniture and came across the Mahogany Assoication stickers. Does this make the furniture more valuable and where could I find out such information?

It doesn't necessarily make it any more valuable. It just indicates that your piece is mahogany, not some other wood dyed to look like mahogany. Hope that helps.

# 123 Rectangle Coffee Table
I have a rectangular coffee table with rounded corners that has the genuine mahogany sticker with number 123 and the number 2126 below it. It also has an Imperial Grand Rapids Michigan sticker.

List to date Consolidating the list from above info:
123 Imperial Furniture Co Grand Rapids, MI
126 Rockford National Rockford, IL
228 Permoweld Mastercraft Unknown
332 Hungerford Memphis, TN
413 Victorian Unknown
422 Gordon's Fine Furniture Johnson City, TN
434 Pioneer Furniture Co. Detroit, MI
542 Hekman Grand Rapids, MI
To the posters who keep asking about the Mahogany Association Stickers, this is probably not the right website for your questions. Almost all of the furniture noted above ranges from true Victorian to the mahogany repro stuff of the 20's, 30's and 40's. That furniture, while pretty (in it's own way) and prevalent and ubiquitous, is not very valuable and the experts on this website are not that familiar with that era. What you own is readily available in every antique store from Tallahassee to Timbuktoo.
Here's a general rule of thumb because I have been looking at this stuff for 13 years: Sideboards, 600, (all prices are in US dollars and are the top prices you could expect at retail), china cabinets 700, dining tables 450, dining chairs 45, end tables 50, bow front chests 750, serpentine front chests, 650, fern stands/plant stands 100, nightstands in matching pairs 250 the pair, beds practically nothing except for matching twin posters 750 the pair. Bottom line, it's not designed well, it's just copies of old, old English and American stuff on its second go-round and it's everywhere. Sorry for the bad news. Take it to your local antique dealer on consignment and be happy if you get enough out of it for a nice meal.

It seemed like a good idea
When I started this thread in '06, it seemed like a fun project to recreate the original list of mahogany association numbers. Instead, it's become intrusive as people register for this forum solely in the hope that they can learn the value of their pieces. I cringe a little every time it gets bumped back up to the top.
Should this thread just be deleted?

mahogany folding diningroom table
I own a mahogany table built in 1937. The manufacture's name is The Brant Cabinet Works. It can seat approximately 16 people, and it's missing a couple of leafs.
If you could possibly tell me what's the value of this piece and does this company still around?
