STIS - got a solid wood bedroom set 2nd hand, any antique buffs know where I can find out the history?

It has Stanley burned on the inside of the drawer but it doesn't look like the logo for Stanley furniture I found online.

what size bed? if it's queen it's after 1950. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 22:11 1
- Hmm ... maybe I should be watching The Zero Effect instead of The International ... -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 12, 22:14
any dovetailing? any other markings which could identify the origin? -- nm - peglegpete Jan 12, 21:22 8
- Yes the drawers have dovetailing...haven't seen any marks other than the Stanley with lines above and below, woodburned in the inside of the drawer -- nm - SyrDragon Jan 12, 21:25 7
  - This may be your manufacturer -- (link) - scorpion Jan 13, 05:52
  - if there is also glue in the joints with the dovetailing, it in not ancient -- nm - peglegpete Jan 12, 21:34 4
    - good point. I will have to get a pic tomorrow since it is in the kid's room -- nm - SyrDragon Jan 12, 21:48 3
      - also, dovetailing that looks too perfect may also mean it is newer -- nm - peglegpete Jan 12, 21:55 2
        
        solid wood or multiple ply?, IIRC it was common for the back pieces to be different wood than the front -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 12, 22:46 1
        
        solid -- nm - peglegpete Jan 12, 23:30
  - got photos? Now I'm curious. But if you posted them to some antiques forum, you might get better feedback. -- nm - psilotum Jan 12, 21:30
