Furniture makers?

Yup... just checked at Kirpatrisk Bros. sold wholesale furniture and such...

It's an early 1900s tag for furniture made Wilmarth in Grand Rapids, and sold by Kirpatrick in St. Lewis about the same time.

I think your right Jim. I tried searching all kinds of stuff to no avail, but stick Wilmarth furniture in a search, and BOOM.

Wilmarth Show Case Co., Grand Rapids (1888-1925)

I think this be it! :thumbsup:

How bout that Arkie Wilmarth Gold!!

Ok Weiner...you asked for it

Willmarth is my middle name, 2 L's

But a neat find anyway. I was names after Colonel Charles Willmarth, USAF, who saved my dad's life and made it possible for little ole me to be borned.

A very uncommon name to say the least. Probly the best furniture though
