I have a dinning room table with 5 chairs and a captains chair. The stamp on the bottom of each chair and table is an S on its side with the numbers 152 after it. The chairs had horse hair and straw stuffing for padding. And I was told it is all made of oak. Could you please tell me how old it is and if it is worth anything. The reason for this is I would like to insure it before I ship it to my daughter in another province.
Thank you. My email address is

Check to see if the following firm does furniture appraisals:

Strand and Godfrey Appraisals Ltd
903B 4th Street, Castlegar
Phone: (250)365-5161 - Fax: (250)365-5223


If they do not, offer such services -- ask them if they know of someone who does -- also check with local furniture dealers, auctions etc.

If you are still coming up blank, emailappraisals.com offers (you guessed it) appraisals by e-mail -- based on a description and, if possible, pictures.

A quick comment about shipping these items -- be sure to declare them as antiques when ensuring/shipping them. If you do not do so, and have a loss-claim, the shipping company may have grounds for not paying you the full antique value -- even if you have purchased enough insurance to cover that value.

Click the above Link(s) for additional information.

Let me know if you need more input. If not, thanks for the opportunity to assist you... Please honor my efforts by Clicking the green 'Accept' button (located within this post -- above-right). Adding a bonus -- should you wish to do so -- would be warmly welcomed.

Good Luck!

Steve
