Highlights

Tell City’s roots reach back to 1865, when eleven craftsmen established the Chair Makers Union as a worker-owned cooperative in Tell City, Indiana. The business adopted the Tell City Chair Company name in 1924. The “Since 1865” label refers to the company’s founding, rather than the manufacture date of this hutch.
The Young Republic stamp identifies the furniture collection and its advertised solid hard rock maple construction. The separate paper label records the pattern number and No. 48 Andover finish - useful details for collectors or buyers coordinating with other Tell City furniture. Its scalloped woodwork, turned spindles and traditional hardware reflect the collection’s Colonial Revival styling.
