Hi Delia,

Thanks. We were able to find a ‘John Wanamaker - Philadelphia’ label on the crate that holds the table leaves. There were also numbers stamped on the back of each piece. I’ve attached some additional pics for reference. Thanks again!

Hi Julie,
John Wanamaker is a good name and makes this set a little more valuable - I've updated this accordingly - thanks very much!
