NELL,
IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A NICE PIECE OF FURNITURE. MY GREAT-GREAT GRANDFATHER JOHANN ADAM EBERT FOUNDED THE EBERT FURNITURE FACTORY IN 1854 IN PHILADELPHIA AFTER ARRIVING IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1852. HE AND HIS SONS, FRED (MY GREAT GRANDFATHER), HERMAN AND JOHN CONTINUED THE BUSINESS UNTIL JOHANN'S DEATH IN 1895. IN FACT HIS HOUSE STILL STANDS ON AIRDRIE STREET JUST OFF OF NORTH BROAD STREET, PHILLADEPHIA. THE FACTORY WAS LOCATED NEAR EDWARD STREET BY GIRARD AVE AND CONTINUED UNDER THE NAME V EBERT (VERENA, HIS WIFE WAS HEAD OF THE BUSINESS) UNTIL 1916 WHEN IT TRANSFERED TO RED LION, PA. THE BUSINESS WAS ACTIVE UNTIL 1959 WHEN IT WAS SOLD TO THE BETHELEM FURNITURE FACTORY.
i HOPE THIS HELPS A LITTLE.
SINCERELY,
DONALD CONRAD, GREENSBORO, NC
