Bought 3 sections of Ranch Oak book cases from Davis & Shaw in 1973, super quality, not press board!

I have a green velvet couch from Davis and Shaw; have had it for 20 years, but not sure how old it is. Looks brand new. I only buy velvet, because it's the only thing cats cannot destroy. I love this couch!

What an interesting question! Unfortunately, we don't have any Davis and Shaw catalogs from the 1970s. There is some chance that information might be in a newspaper ad, but until those are available online (a long project we're in the middle of) it will be difficult to track down. If you have an idea of when an ad might have been published, you're welcome to come in and use our microfilm though!

We acquired a David & Shaw dining room table in 1983 from a moving company that apparently lost half its base. We had a San Francisco craftsman make a matching base. We just moved and my husband took it apart again to replace the casters, so it is still in use. It has floral motif of raised wood on the feet.

I worked at a furniture in Berkeley, California in the sixties and seventes called Sone Pierce which was owned by Dave and Jean Pate. Dave’s father was Richard Pate from Davis & Shaw in Denver, Colorado.
