They're Hitchcock. What's a set? Hitchcocks were sold by peddlars from their wagons, and most people bought them one at a time till they had enough. I have 6 in the Breakfast room, which are not old, probably from the 60s. I have another 8 from the 19th century. That table has been in the family for generations, and is documented Massachusetts, ca.1670. The bircage and chicken coop Windsor chairs are too fragile and got put in the attic. I suppose the chairs used when the table was made were rushed ladder backs.
The over ripe bananas go into bread, probably tomorrow. I'm having the Orange for lunch. Anything else?
