Hi gang. New to the forum here, but I can see already how knowledgeable folks are here. I'm a newbie also to Hancock & Moore furniture. I saw this sofa listed on Craigslist for 300 bucks (bought it for 250!). Pretty excited about it, but I know virtually nothing about it. Can anyone enlighten me on it? This shipping tag identifies the leather as "Glazed Blackberry" and the style # is 8115. Shipping date is from 1/30/87. The leather is so glossy, it fooled me and I thought it might be vinyl or pleather at first glance. Considering its age, the condition is quite remarkable. It has just a couple tiny signs of wear. Any additional info on name, value or other opinons would be greatly appreciated. Thanks (and great forum here!)
That frame was before my time as a dealer, though that leather is still in the line (I haven't sold a piece in 'Glazed' in at least 8 year, however). That is currently a price grade 2 leather. Were that sofa frame offered today and you were buying new, it would cost over 10x what you paid for it in that leather.

Thanks, Duane. I must say my tastes run in the Herman Miller, Knoll, Danish Modern realm, but this is a well constructed piece of furniture and I think it's comfortable as heck. I'm in the process of remodeling my basement and this will be a nice addition to what I hope to be a cozy, warm and ecclectic space. Thanks so much for your speedy and helpful reply!
