Tyckte denna polykroma "Mason´s square serving candy dish" i "patent ironstone" var riktigt trevlig. Dessutom är den gjord "for Carl Forslund Grand Rapids Michigan", bara en sån sak

Man kan undra vem Carl Forslund var. När man kollar på Ebay verkar det finnas många delar av servisen som är märkta som din.

Regency är också ett namn som den verkar gå under

Här kan Du läsa lite om Carl Forslund som främst handlade med möbler med som det verkar hade inredningaffär och dessutom sysslade med handel per katalog (postorder). Sönerna tog över efter honom.http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniont...s21kovels.html

Tack för det! Jag klistrar in svaret här. Man vet ju aldrig om sidan försvinner.

QUESTION: We inherited a writing desk that my parents purchased in the 1960s from the Carl Forslund Furniture Co. in Grand Rapids, Mich. I think it was called a "Jenny Lind writing desk." Can you tell me anything about the company?

ANSWER: Carl Forslund Sr., who had been a salesman for Stickley Bros., established his own furniture business, Carl V. Forslund Inc., in 1935. He sold furniture at his retail store and by mail order. Carl's three sons joined the business in the 1940s and '50s.

Forslund's manufacturing plant closed in 1991, and its retail stores a year later. The company specialized in manufacturing oak, walnut and cherry furniture in Early American styles.

Forslund marketed its furniture in a folksy way and often named pieces for famous people. Jenny Lind (1820-1887), nicknamed the Swedish Nightingale, was a world-renowned opera singer in the 1850s.

Tack Kaptenen, det kanske dyker upp någon Jenny Lind pryl med Forslunds logga på så det är bäst att vara vaken.
