Photographs of furniture, correspondence, and price lists, 1937-1938.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/261234148

A collection of photos of furniture available from W. & J. Sloane, plus a few letters and two price lists, 1937-1938. The letters are addressed to N. Snellenburg & Co. of Philadelphia, and probably the collection of photos were at that Philadelphia store to show their customers and take orders. The photos depict bedroom and dining room suites, arm and side chairs, easy and wing chairs, occasional chairs, desks, highboys, bookcases, chests (in addition to those part of bedroom suites), mirrors, lamps, stands, hanging shelves, sofas and love seats, chaises lounges, benches, and tables of various kinds: coffee, console, card, sofa, end, lamp, pedestal, and drum tables. In addition, there is one folder of "Moderne" style furniture, which includes tables, book cases, sofas, chairs, and bedroom suites. Most of the pieces are from the Company of Master Craftsmen line, but some are from the less expensive Oneidacraft line. The stock numbers or names on the price lists also appear on the photos. Also with the collection is a box stamped W. & J. Sloane, New York, in which most of the photographs were once housed.

2 boxes: chiefly ill. ; 28 cm. or smaller.
