Entry No. 182
 |
I found this 1930-40's? table on the side of the road in Marin. I couldn't resist picking it up to see if I can bring it back to life. On an interesting side note. I flipped it over to look for the manufacturer and it's stamped "1007 Gall Furniture Manufacturers, Oakland, Ca". I Googled them and found that they were located within 3 miles of my house. I also found out the in 1947 the owner O.B. Gall, was a member of a local Masonic lodge and that he lived on Trestle Glen. Don't you just love the internet?! |
FWIW, the building was converted into about 30 live-work units, likely in the '80s. There is still a vintage Wells Fargo walk-in safe in one place and a few other original details remain.
ReplyDeleteCool find! I'd have picked it up too.
Hey there, Thank you for the added insight on the source of my table. It is currently holding magazines and art portfolios in my living room.
