For those of you in the northeast:? re: table and 6 chairs marked S. Bent Bros...

[Antonia]

Does anybody know anything about this type furniture? From what I can gather off the web, it was made by a company that is now out of business. Is their furniture worth anything? We are thinking of selling it to get it out of our way - but if it's worth something I hate to sell it for a song and later regret it.
It is a very sturdy table with 3 leaves and 6 unusual chairs - bent stick backs. It is hard to find info on the web, but some that I have found makes me think we should keep it rather than sell it. We ended up with it in a strange way and don't really know its origin. You don't really see tables like this in the South - I think its from New England or Ohio.

a quick Google search came up with the company being established in 1867, MA/New England & PA area. I found several sites referencing sets made during the 40's (folks looking for matching chairs, etc) ...sounds like it might be worth investigating further

saw a few references to a furniture company called Winchendon Furniture Co. and M.H.Parks, Co. of Winchendon MA to have them put together matching chairs, might be worth your time to contact them for further leads

Thanks - I'll check into some of these leads.
