What's your Mahogany Association Number?
If you have a piece of mahogany furniture made prior to 1969, it probably has a Mahogany Association sticker on it certifying that it's genuine mahogany and not a lesser wood dyed to resemble mahogany. These stickers also bore a number that was meant to be used exclusively by that manufacturer.
As far as I know, that list of numbers and corresponding manufacturers has been lost. If you have one of these stickers, please post your number and the manufacturer of your piece--or, if you don't know the manufacturer, just post the number on your Mahogany Association sticker and any information (pics would be helpful) you have about the piece.
The goal is to reassemble that list so that anyone with a Mahogany Association sticker will be able to identify its manufacturer.
Sound fun? I'll go first.

Mahogany Assoc. #
My husband and I were given a table that belonged to his grandparents. There is the #3806 on the underside. Additionally, the remaining portion of the sticker is "Imperial" Grand Rapids and I believe it is (Mi) The label refers to a penalty law #123 Mahogany Association, Inc. I am looking for any info about this piece of furniture. It is a table that 1/2 folds over onto the other 1/2 creating what i describe as a sofa table. The tabletop portion will also rotate to uncover a hidden compartment. The table part sits on what looks like a harp which is connected to the 4 legs. It has a scrolling design on the harp section.
I am not very knowledgable on the topic of furniture. I do know that is is a very nice table and unique.
Thanks for help...anybody.

Mahogany Association number
I bought a small desk L-44" W-20" H- 30" with a branded logo of an Eagle that has The Company of Permo-weld Mastercraftsmen and a gold sticker that says it Genuine Mahogany and "under penalty of contract number 228" also the numbers S8824 D217628
and under the three drawers has the branded numbers 37 on the two side drawers and 37 A on the middle one.
Can anyone tell me what it all means?
I bought it at a garage sale for $2. but its badly scratched so im sanding it down and painting the top.

228 = Permo-Weld Mastercraftsmen
The Mahogany Association label identifies your piece as being true mahogany, not another wood dyed to resemble mahogany. Each manufacturer in the association had its own unique number. Apparently 228 was the Mahogany Association number of 'Permo-weld Mastercraftsmen.'

demi-lune table number
I have a small demi-lune table with the number 123. Also, stamped in ink in larger numbers on the table bottom itself is the number 1522. There is no manufacturer information, but I see from other posts that it appears to have been made by Imperial Co. in Grand Rapids.
On closer inspection, I did see a tiny fragment of another sticker that is green with white (?) writing. I could make out the letters "mp" which are probably from "Imperial." I looked up this company and found this info:
Imperial Furniture Co., Grand Rapids (1903-1962)
founded by E.H. Foote
purchased by Bergsma Brothers, 1955
Also: "F. Stuart Foote...started Imperial Furniture Company, one of the largest makers of high-quality tables in the 1920s and '30s."

416 Magohany Assoc number
We have 4 dining chairs and one captain's chair. They all have Mahogany printed on the bottom, specifically 1"800 Chair Mahogany" & one with "1800 Arm Chair Mahogany." You can see where all 5 once had the Mahogany Association label, however the label has come off all but one chair. That one says: "All Exposed Parts guaranteed. Solid genuine Mahogany. Genuine Mahogany grows only in West Indies, Tropical America, and West Coast Africa. This Label issued under penalty contract #416. Mahogany Assocation Inc. Copyright USA." Any suggestions on how to determine value or age?

What's your Mahogany Association Number?
Hi,
My number is 127, I think the dresser is from the Tennessee area. Does anyone know what the metal "George Washington Bi-Centennial 1732-1932" means? This is also on the back of my dresser.

I am having trouble describing the chair, but here goes. It has a high back (more than the normal desk chair) and it is made from one piece of wood in a wave fashion. I love the chair and we have always used it as a desk chair. Any other info would be appreciated.

I have two dressers with the Mahogany Association sticker. The # is 204. They have big brass pulls. I had them refinished so they look mahogany, not the light color they were originally. What would they be worth? bkm

It doesn't necessarily make it any more valuable. It just indicates that your piece is mahogany, not some other wood dyed to look like mahogany. Hope that helps.

List to date
Consolidating the list from above info:
123 Imperial Furniture Co Grand Rapids, MI
126 Rockford National Rockford, IL
228 Permoweld Mastercraft Unknown
332 Hungerford Memphis, TN
413 Victorian Unknown
422 Gordon's Fine Furniture Johnson City, TN
434 Pioneer Furniture Co. Detroit, MI
542 Hekman Grand Rapids, MI
To the posters who keep asking about the Mahogany Association Stickers, this is probably not the right website for your questions. Almost all of the furniture noted above ranges from true Victorian to the mahogany repro stuff of the 20's, 30's and 40's. That furniture, while pretty (in it's own way) and prevalent and ubiquitous, is not very valuable and the experts on this website are not that familiar with that era. What you own is readily available in every antique store from Tallahassee to Timbuktoo.
Here's a general rule of thumb because I have been looking at this stuff for 13 years: Sideboards, 600, (all prices are in US dollars and are the top prices you could expect at retail), china cabinets 700, dining tables 450, dining chairs 45, end tables 50, bow front chests 750, serpentine front chests, 650, fern stands/plant stands 100, nightstands in matching pairs 250 the pair, beds practically nothing except for matching twin posters 750 the pair.
Bottom line, it's not designed well, it's just copies of old, old English and American stuff on its second go-round and it's everywhere. Sorry for the bad news. Take it to your local antique dealer on consignment and be happy if you get enough out of it for a nice meal.

It seemed like a good idea
When I started this thread in '06, it seemed like a fun project to recreate the original list of mahogany association numbers. Instead, it's become intrusive as people register for this forum solely in the hope that they can learn the value of their pieces. I cringe a little every time it gets bumped back up to the top.
Should this thread just be deleted?

Attention to all those checking in on the value of
Mahogany Association Number branded pieces.
Please read the thread in its entirety and then you will understand the next sentence quite well.
All M.A. pieces are worth between one dollar, whatever you paid for it, if you love it, and one million dollars!! There might be other sites that can render a more accurate assessment of its value.
Paging Brent: Clean-up on aisle five! Price check in aisle three! Customer needs assistance in the pick-up area! It has turned into a bit of an amusement, hasn't it?

So glad to find this!
Hello, experts. I have recently acquired some things from my Great Aunt Edna's estate. I'm curious about this couch. The only label says "Gianni Saccheto di Frutta, Mahogany Association #666". How much is this couch worth and do any of you want to buy it? Thanks you so much!

The Association
My 2009 Mahogany Association value guide lists the di Frutta at $19,00-$24,000. That's if the original, rare MHA label is still attached, which you say it is. How lucky you are, Riki, to have found such a gorgeous piece.

Hi Riki
This is a meeting place for Mahogany Association enthusiasts. You indicate an association number of 666, but I see little evidence of actual Mahogany.

this tread-mahogany association
Rare STicker. The number of Mahogany association stickers is equal to the number of furniture/antique dealers who are rude and have no ethics. That would be over 1,000,000 dealers/collectors or 99%.
No one ever wants to help anyone out in the antique world. Why? They are money grubbers. They would steal a piece right under a dead body if they thought they could make $500. Unless you are willing to pay these so called experts, and I use this term lightly, stop asking for prices. Just go down to your local antique store bend over and hope for vaseline.

I do not understand
why people still continue to post serious inquiries on this thread. Do they not read the durned thing and see that they are being ridiculed?

i have the same type of table as d.googe has listed! the ma # is 213. i would really like to find out anything you may have found out about this table! it has secret compartment and swivels and top folds over to make the table top the size of a cardtable.the legs form a heart then branch out to the 4 feet. i always called it the sweethearts table. when i was a teen i told my mom that when she died i wanted this table and i would just like to know more on its history. when and where it was made.

Number = 376
5 pc bedroom ensemble. 4 poster bed, acorn motif at top, fluted columns on posts of varying dia. Chest on chest, 7 drawers (2 small on top) bearing numbers 422(sm) and 482(lg), fluted colums on vertical front edges, bracket feet, brass pulls look like Drexel of this vintage, only more brass cutout these pcs... 18.5d x 36w x 53.5h... with "B881/2" handscribed on back, and also "3/17/48", so dating is sure. The B881/2 slash sign is horizontal, not oblique as I've had to type in here. The dresser is same design and fluted columns and bracket feet... 20.5d x 44w x 36.25h... drawers labeled 622. Nightstand, same design, 13.375d x 18.125w x 27.25h, with drawer numbered 57. Mirror had Mahogany Associatioh number 376 as well as Model No. H.500. Thought mfr was Kling, but they are not optimistic, given there are no mfr id labels... metal or otherwise... anywhere on the pcs. This forum was a good idea. I'm not selling... just want to know the mfr. I suspect a NE mfr, since my in-law's bought this suite when my father-in-law returned from WWII ca 1948 to NY, NJ, or MA.

I have a large armoire, the depth of which is quite astounding. I walked into it, between the coats and dresses and such, and may have stepped into another dimension.

Seventeen, that's going to be my number, or maybe forty-three. And I'm sticking to that, although I have a bland fondness for 7, and for 13 when I'm feeling really lucky. Any of the Mahogany Association numbers, for what it's worth, are probably good numbers.
My pick is 43. Or 17.

#476
I have a dresser and chest of drawers, #476, that are a set. I bought them at a small antique mart in Jenks, Oklahoma for my daughter's room. They had been painted a few times, and when I bought them, they were ivory. I didn't notice the sticker until I started stripping the paint in order to refinish both pieces, and I found this site when I started searching for information on mahogany furniture. They are simple pieces and have an art deco look to them.

#238 Desk
Sticker inside center drawer has partially rubbed off on the top so I cannot see the manufacturer's name. It does say that the mahogany was grown only in the West Indies, the Tropics (can't really read it well), and West Coast Africa. This was part of my parent's bedroom suit that they had when they got married in 1946. The sticker is a gold color and has a red and black trim on the outer edge. Actually, I'm not sure it's even a "sticker." It looks like a painted stamp or something.

Wow! I wish I had read further down!
This is so funny! I wanted to say that my desk was really not very attractive, but I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings out there. My mother actually "anitqued" it back in 1970, and it's horrible looking! I just wanted to see if it was worth refinishing! After I got to the bottom of all the comments, I was pretty much enlightened! (and entertained! :)

Yoiks.
I paid no attention to this thread until now. " Just go down to your local antique store bend over and hope for vaseline." The row of agonized/tortured/outraged faces is worth three of anything else.
Will anyone know if I make up a number and pretend to have a piece of mahogany furniture ? I hate to be left out. . .!

You've exercised admirable restraint in not opening this thread until today.
You're sort of like that WW2 Japanese soldier, who didn't surrender until 1974.

What has..
Bob Gibson "the hoot" to do with your Mahogany Association number. This is a forum on design issues, serious ones, that is, and not on baseball...by the way I have a number 124, so if you find a 126 we have a series of three...or should we call that a strike?

I don't mind this thread any more, personally
It was only truly painful during the first six months, when we were expected to politely listen while people droned on about their 1940's mahogany sideboards.
But now? A portal into another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination.

I've thought of editing the title and/or first post, but I thought it would be unfair to Patrick and Alix who seem to want this thread to remain. I've pleaded with them to delete the thread entirely. Maybe they're sadists. Or, as has been suggested, maybe they actually like it *because* it draws so many visitors and potential ad revenue.
As I've said elsewhere, my cross bears a M@hogany Association number. I'll plead once more with Patrick and Alix to delete this thread. Why has thou forsaken us? I will not deny you.

No Brent, we are not sadists...
No Brent, we are not sadists nor masochists. Like many of you, we found this thread annoying at the beginning but we must admit that, thanks to the sense of humour of some of you, it became gradually entertaining. As for the important number of visitors that come on DA through this thread, we are not indifferent. Not for the possible income that they could generate but because it could be the opportunity for some of these visitors to discover on Design Addict a type of furniture that, in principle, they don't know about.
If there is a demand from the great majority to delete this thread, no problem, we will do it.

15,782 readings!?
Perhaps a few folk are learning something.
Let it live!
I bet a hundred of those readings are mine.
I wish it was my post Brent.
I deal quite well with humiliation and embarrassment
on a daily basis.
Just be proud for the humor alone!

Dear Gustav...
There have been some other wood associations in the past. The cannarywood association comes to mind (1928-1936). After a modest start in the Dutch tulip fields it became a respectable wood association. At some point it was so powerful it considered to change it's name in World Wide Liriodendron Tulipifera Association (WWLTA) which indirectly caused a split in the wood so to speak and a separate American section incorporated under the Tulipwood Association of America (TAA) Unfortunately the labels were widely knocked of by mostly religious sects, Tibetan monks and others. Finally the recession and the lack of visibility on the net (too early) drove the last nails in the coffin of an otherwise prosperous association. The coffin by the way was made of a tulip tree grown not far from Thomas Jefferson's grave in Monticello and has the symbolic number 001. You might want to see a picture, but I still do not know how to post pictures ?kanske ved du det ?

Weathering the search
I have a rather large Barometer made by P. F. Bollenbach of Chicago IL. with the Mahobany Association Number 411 on the back. I have been trying to find some info as to when it wa made, who was it first sold to and the like. have had very little luck in my search so far. if anyone knows something about it please let me know.
Thank you

Hi Gustav...
Jag letar fortfarande efter min kamera, men....
You can write it "cannary" or "canary". In both cases it has no common origins with the name of or the looks of the bird.
Sorry for thoise who suspect that I am trying to distract from the real purpose of this thread: Mahogany. To prove my point I will start compiling all the numbers we have...as long as they come with a specific manufacturer. Just give me a second

Woo hoo! Nothing but net. You go, What's Your Mahogany Association Number thread!
By the way, the University of Nebraska women's basketball team is currently 20-0 and ranked #4 in the nation. USA, that is. #4, on the hardwood.
They're very good.

I have that set too from hungerford
I just today bought a number 332 bedroom set. It has a full size headboard/footer and rails. The long low dresser has a large mirror and there is a highboy also. In wonderful shape. Was made in 1949 and I wonder what it originally sold for and what it is worth now?

Y'all,
the resilience of this thread is unprecedented in internet history. Seriously. It's like cockroaches.

mahogany chest of drawers
I do have such a piece of furniture--it has a siver sticker inside one of the drawers that bears the name Mahogany Assoc. with a #1200--do you know what this is worth? If not, how do I find out. Thank you.

413 Table
My friend has a marble top end table with a harp shape underneath. This table is also #413, however we don't know the mfg. This is one of three tables that belonged to his mother. We are trying to find out how old it is, because it is mixed up with a house full of furniture that dates back to the late 1880's Victorian style.

My number remains 17. Or 43. Shouldn't a prize be awarded at some point here, say, to the person who posts at the point of 25,000 hits or something: a nice trophy with their very own number, atop a mahogony base. Brent could hand it to them in a Super Bowl type ceremony, with confetti and a parade and ...

It's "madam"...
and my only suggestion is that you google "curved glass replacement" and stop desecrating the Mahogany Association Number thread with these silly, unrelated topics.
Good day.

I have a block of wood with the "Mahagony Association Inc" sticker with the number "ID 10 T" on it. It has been passed down for generations to the stupidest male child. Now it's mine and I will cherish it forever. How much is it worth?

It's invaluable. But for insurance purposes you should probably look at coverage in the 500,000 dollar range.
