    Hello, Sir.

    Do U have any idea what "BPJ Nantucket" means? I have these two Step Tables with that stamped on the underside. Also says, "Since 1891" and it has two maple leaf images, one on either side. I found an ad in goggle images dated in 1956:

    http://news.google.com/newspapers?ni...pg=5053,618482

    Those tables in the back of the photo are them. I know the ad says "light & step tables", but these match. Looks like both are the taller "light" table. When I find my charger I'll post a pic.


    Anyway, that's it. Nothing more and I've checked what I believe to be everywhere. Yes, even local furniture experts. I've actually taken a table to em for a look. No one knows anything about em.

    LOL!

    These things are built like wooden tanks. I've never seen furniture made this well. They look like the same style as your bed frame there. I classify it as a 'cottage style', would U?


    I don't really know what I have but, what I do know is if I can't find em on the internet and they're built the way they are (tightest grain of maple I've ever seen, gorgeous) they have to be SPECIAL.

    Feedback, please and TY very much for your opinion.
