Re: Dubler Bros. Furniture
It would appear to me that Dubler Brothers was a furniture store rather than a furniture maker. The clue being the "Distinctive Interiors" phrase. If that's the only marking, it may be hard to tell who made the piece.
Re: Dubler Bros. Furniture
Looks like there was a Dubler Brothers Furniture store at 395 Rockaway Avenue in Brooklyn, NY.
Re: Dubler Bros. Furniture
Thanks Ci2Eye! How did you find out that there was a furniture store at that address? Even after searching the name and address I was still not able to find it .
The main reason for my search was to discover if the dresser is actually valuable due to its quality of craftsmanship.
Thanks for your help!
Re: Dubler Bros. Furniture
Having a 'brand' is not indicative of quality or value, only a photographic essay of the piece using several high res photos (not poorly lit and blurry cell phone shots) can tell how a piece is made and if it has any value higher than your typical estate sale prices, etc. Just because it's old doesn't mean it has any value. In my experience, of the thousands of pieces I have been asked to look at over the past thirty years, 99.5% have no collectible value. But you never know - you may have a rarity, only a series of detailed photos can tell via the internet and much include interior shots from all angles. Of all the pieces that have been dragged into my store the past three decades, only one was "Antiques Roadshow" surprise quality, and I helped that customer get it to Sotheby's in N.Y.C.

Through Google, I found what appears to be a high school yearbook from 1933 where the store was listed as a sponsor.

Thanks Ci2Eye, that is really amazing, that out of all places, you found that this is a store by an ad in a year book from 1033!
drcollie - thanks for your advice! I actually never considered this an auction type of furniture, but now I am curious. My parents are going back to Florida next week and I will ask them to take some good pictures of the dresser outside, around and inside to post here, but for now, I just have exactly what you would describe as a blurry image that I am attaching. Let me know your initial thoughts.

Thank You!
Re: Dubler Bros. Furniture
It's a modern production piece, no collectible value. Sorry.
Re: Dubler Bros. Furniture
Thanks for crushing my dreams drcollie! I'm just kidding!
Thank you both for the quick replies and support!
