RE: Brought home something cool today.. - 3/30/2011 8:41:14 PM    wolffbp   Posts: 251 Joined: 7/28/2009 From: Central NY Status: offline Very Nice Lundstrom Manufacturing Company of Little Falls, New York. They were in business from circa 1900 to circa 1960 and were contemporaneous with other major manufacturers of sectional bookcases. This is based on attached paper tags or labels with patent dates that are present on some Lundstrom book sections as well as dated catalogs they published. Woods used in their sectional bookcases include oak, mahogany, and walnut. Products they manufactured included sectional bookcases and filing cabinets. Carl J. Lundstrom was born in Stockholm, Sweden and was a patent attorney when he first moved to Little Falls, NY. He patented a sectional bookcase design in the very early 1900’s (circa 1900) and purchased the Saxony Mill in 1901. Presumably he spent the next 3 years getting financial backing to make sectional bookcases and other wood products because he did not move into the Saxony Mill until 1904. In addition to sectional bookcases Lundstrom manufactured end tables, filing cabinets, and Victrola cabinets for the Victor Talking Machine Company. C. J. Lundstrom died on April 17, 1943 and his son, Valfrid, was president of the company until 1958. Probably worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $750 - $1,200.

This is my first post.  I am alse very willing to answer any questions you folks may have with respect to insulators.  I possess a virtual plethora of useless isulator trivia, wisdom, and knowledge on the subject.  Dario the insulator guy < Message edited by cyberdigger -- 3/31/2011 6:41:10 AM > (in reply to cyberdigger) Post #: 6
