”This is the first book to catalog and illustrate all known American wood furniture pieces that bear the signatures, labels, brands, impressions, or inkstamp marks of their makers.”
AMERICAN CABINETMAKERS – MARKED AMERICAN FURNITURE, 1640-1940
by William C. Ketchum Jr. with the Museum of American Folk Art.  Crown Publishers NY 1995.
This text contains a wealth of information that is organized alphabetically for easy reference.  Approximately 1,000 American cabinetmakers are named and identified.  Each biographical entry provides information about the life and work of the craftsman, if available; defines the characteristics of his mark; and reviews the maker’s products, areas where his pieces were originally sold, and the years in which he worked.  Each manufacturer’s mark is illustrated or represented, as are more than 400 marked pieces of furniture.  This is an invaluable reference for the collector, dealer, or historian of American furniture.
