Question
I found four of these chairs it has a number on the bottom of it would this # mean it is a antique or do you know someone that could tell me. the # is 303-5055-arn 10/03/45
Hi Kimberly
Nice to hear from you.
These chairs are definately not antiques Kimberly, but are exactly my age LOL...I was born in 1945. Your chairs were made in 1945.
And you know something most chairs from that time were very well made so if you like them and use them thats great. You will get many more years use out of them.
I enjoyed this question.
Kindest Regards
Eileen

| Comment | Thanks Eileen! I kept waiting for a notice in my inbox and when I didn't get one, I didn't log into the site to see if I had one. I will use the Murphy's oil soap and I am STILL waiting for my neice to get the piano out of the house! | ||

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.
