Title: couch circa 1900
Post by: Raven31557 on September 28, 2016, 03:13:00 pm: I received this couch (with a matching chair) from my great-aunt.
It had been her mother-in-law's.
I'm just guessing it is circa 1900 judging by when it was passed down. (1935)

Any ideas on what it might be worth?
If anything substantial.
I had it reupholstered.

Unfortunately, seating like this tends to not be worth a whole lot. You're better off just keeping it!

Agree with the others! Enjoy!

ah

Well, my great-aunt got married in 1935, so I just assumed that's when she got it.
I really don't know.
Maybe she got it after several years of marriage.
What year would you say this is from, mart?

Post by: Jlsherf on October 02, 2016, 12:43:32 pm: "I keep looking for the "Like" button to click.". I said the same thing when I first found this forum. Look to the right of your s seen and you should see "Karma points". You can give those who have helped you Karma Points. Its a nice jesture. Beautiful couch BTW!

Post by: mart on October 02, 2016, 12:50:13 pm: Forgot about those !! We have Karma (applaud) points if something helps you !! Smite,, if you get PO`d !! Or if any one was rude ect !! We try to avoid those !!
Title: Re: couch circa 1900
Post by: debc on October 03, 2016, 09:42:05 am: I must be missing something so simple, but for the life of me cannot figure out how to give karma points and I have a lot stored up to give ;)
Title: Re: couch circa 1900
Post by: mart on October 03, 2016, 10:04:55 am: No, You are not missing anything !! I think you have to have a certain number of posts before you can use those !! We had someone a while back,(we do not know who) that just started handing out smites just for the heck of it !! So the rule was made to insure the person was a regular member and not a spammer before they could smite us for something we had no clue about !!
Title: Re: couch circa 1900
Post by: ghopper1924 on October 03, 2016, 11:05:08 am: I think you have to have 100 posts before you can start handing out karma points. I don't know if special dispensation is available, but you would have to pm KC or Don'tBe to get it.

Post by: mart on October 03, 2016, 01:13:55 pm: LOL !! That works just as well !! Thank you !!
Title: Re: couch circa 1900
Post by: Raven31557 on October 03, 2016, 02:11:49 pm: I was wondering what my Karma points were all about.
Very CooL!!
Title: Re: couch circa 1900
Post by: KC on October 03, 2016, 03:25:16 pm: You have to have 100 posts before you can give + or - points. Like Mart said it developed after people were just getting on and being abusive of the "fun little novelty" on this site.

Smiles back to you as well!
