Hi, I would a little info on a desk that I have. It has item # 7110-823-6972 on the bottom, also Lycoming Furn.IND written on the bottom. It is dated Sept 1963.

Thanks

Answer
Hi Ty
Nice to hear from you.
Not much anyone can tell you about your desk Ty except it was made in 1963...and you obviously know that.
I can tell you however that in my neck of the woods, furniture from the 50's and 60's is becoming sought after by "Kids of the Baby Boomers".
Us old folks who grew up with this furniture for the most part do not like it.
I cannot find anything about the Company that made the desk, and you never described it so this is a tricky question.
Get back to me.
Kindest Regards
Eileen

Expertise

I can answer most questions about the repairing and refinishing of all your old furniture items (the things we call antiques). I can also give you advice on what wood items to choose and what wood items to avoid at auctions, flea markets etc. I DO NOT give appraisals on antiques as this is not my field of expertise.

Experience

I have been repairing, refinishing and of course buying old furniture for the past 30 years. On any given weekend I can be found at auction sales or flea markets searching out a good buy. I have taken several courses in this area over the years, but I find "Hands On" learning to be the best teacher. I can help you avoid the pitfalls and problems of this wonderful rewarding craft.
