Long Description
I found this Bench at Goodwill today for $29. I went home and did some research on the maker. I matched the metal plate under the bench with other plates online and it points to the year(s) 1902-1903. The maker is Stickley Bros out of Grand Rapids, MI. I found a few benches from that time period online but they were all straight and more simple looking. This piece has more detail in the legs. I would love some more information on this piece and what it might be valued at. It is in perfect condition... a couple paints marks on the back from being pushed up against a wall. Very solid piece. It did come with a seat pad-- I just removed it for the photo.

Re: Stickley Bros Double Bench Grand Rapids, MI
Well you got a hell of a deal for what you paid, the label does date from the early 20th century, this type on your bench did not change until the early 1920's. Even at auction this one should go for at least $450.00.
