If you look carefully in the photo, you'll see 3 mirrors. For a karma point, identify the year that each was made, left to right. Here are your choices:

1) 1858
2) 1901
3) 1879
4) 1885

For another karma point, identify the furniture maker, left to right. Here are you choices:

1) Berkey & Gay, Grand Rapids
2) Meeks, New York & New Orleans
3) Statfeld & Wolf, Chicago
4) Herter Brothers, New York

For a karma point grand slam, identify the styles, left to right. Your choices:

1) Rococo Revival
2) Renaissance Revival
3) Moorish
4) Eastlake

Post by: ghopper1924 on February 13, 2017, 08:20:17 AM: Not that anybody cares at this point, but the lone game participant, Jacon, did well, sweeping 2 of 3 categories, namely the dates and styles. So 2 karma points to him! The makers were 1) Statfeld & Wolf, 2) Berkey & Gay, 3) Meeks.

Post by: jacon4 on February 13, 2017, 02:17:09 PM: Course, i was the only player but hey, still a WIN!
Title: Re: Victorian Style Game
Post by: jacon4 on February 13, 2017, 02:51:56 PM: I think the reason why i was the only player is, it was to complicated for a single browser to pick choices in the categories, i had 2 browsers going, one to look at choices and the other to look at the furniture options. Obviously, this ain't a 2 browser forum! hells bells, Mart is BARELY online!
