Title: R. Veal & Son Chair Mfs.??
Post by: imredspell on December 09, 2005, 02:49:23 PM

I have a 2-pc. buffet, it is solid maple.  The drawers are stamped "R. Veal & Son Chair Mfs., Albany, Oregon, Est. 1892"  I can't seem to find any helpful info except that I think they were still operating in 1955?  Help!!

I don't know the value of your buffet but I too have a two piece R. Veal & Son buffet.  The brand on mine, however, did not have the date that the company was founded.  Mine does have the original flatware organizer with cloth cover.  I bought it in a thrift shop in Arcata, California  because it seemed so well made.  I was later told by an  Albany native that the company finally closed in the early 70s.  He added that the company made a rocker for John Kennedy which was reputed to be the President's favorite.
