Is there any proof that Milo Baughman designed anything for Dillingham furniture

I have a six drawer dresser by Dillingham. Almost every piece online is attributed to Milo, but there seems to be no evidence that he ever designed for them. This is a horrible picture but it is in a warehouse with no lighting and too heavy to move by myself.
TIA, Bryan

No Milo Baughman did not design for Dillingham. Very early in his career he designed for Gleen of CA and Pacific Iron. Then he did one line for Drexel and Winchendon. Then he designed exclusively for Thayer Coggin / James.

Baughman designed for Drexel in the 50' (as stated in Leif's link) and Dillingham is a division of Drexel. There is a furniture advertisement floating around the web that links Baughman to Dillingham. The print is too small to read to verify this but there is a possibility.

His bio says he designed "...a major line for Drexel..." Here is an advertisement for Drexel's Perspective line saying it was designed by Milo Baughman, which would make it the major line referenced in the bio.

Thanks, I did not know either that he designed Perspective or that Dillingham was a division of Drexel
