Hi all ;
Someone on another forum has posted a pic of what looks to be an AT 32 table. However they say it has a PP møbler sticker, gold with black lettering, underneath.
So my question is; when did PP møbler start using this label?
I have found a post by Mats Linder , an Andreas Tuck catalogue from 1959, it would appear that this model was listed as "obsolete" on a 1961 pricelist he included.
@cdsilva posted a list in Feb 2016 and to quote him "Wegner model number list, ordered chronologically (from the Jens Bernsen book). Unfortunately there are no diagrams or photos assigned to each number. I cannot even find a AT32 in the list"; However no date attached to the list?
Thoughts/ suggestions anyone or maybe I have not done enough searching !!

@lexi It seems to me as if you know everything here, so I am not really sure, what to look for. PP took over many tables from Tuck in the seventies, so it might be that this table was produced sometimes between, say, 1977 and 2000 or even later. Although the table is not listed on the otherwise comprehensive PP-mobler-site, so i would guess that it is an early production (70s/80s) which soon got out of production. If you want to know the exact year or timespan, you will probably have to write PP. I'm sure they can tell. (Why would someone place a pp sticker under an AT table?)

@herringbone. I am not sure what I am looking for myself.....corona confusion.. *&^!!* etc
The poster of the table has now mentioned that they contacted PP Møbler and their response was that they had little knowledge of this table...
I fired off an e-mail to PP asking about the time frame for the gold label. Lets see what they say.
Have looked at lots of images for this model and have yet to find one with the PP label, which is not surprising as sticky labels fall off.
Your suggestion that it may have been a very short production run is very likely.
Thank you for clarifying and helping me see the light !!!

@lexi Did you get an answer from PP? I thought of you and this thread the other day when I saw a Wegner table offered at Lauritz. It’s not really related to your question - but the table in question must have been from a similar time period, and it was without a doubt the ugliest Wegner table I have ever seen. Made by Andreas Tuck. I would have never believed it if someone had told me this was Wegner for Tuck. Probably I just don’t see it’s merits. But ugh. I will never fully understand what happened with public taste In the 70s and 80s.

@herringbone that ugliness has to date to -before- the late 1960s because that is when AT went out as I recall. Didn’t even make it to the 1970s.
@kyle-barrett Nicely put. And welcome back!

@herringbone. Finally got a reply from PP Møbler.
" I don’t know if it’s still relevant, but the label was introduced in 1975 and phased out in the beginning of the 1990’s. "
They did " sincerely"apologise for the delay in responding.

@lexi Oh, that’s cool. You could post a picture of the table in question b the way, if you have one. Just got the sake of completeness.

No image of label shown but they did say it is the gold one with black lettering.Image 4 is one I found on the net
