Dear Nancy,
I am currently working on my MA with the Smithsonian Associates and am doing research on G. Vollmer & Son of Philadelphia. I came across your post here on geneology.com and thought you may be of some assistance. I have turned up a few catalogues, journals, and ledgers in Philadelphia, but am having trouble finding some pieces of furniture associated with your great, great grandfather. Other than the set of parlor furniture in the white house collection, and a desk that belonged to Joseph Moore (which I found in an auction, but am not sure where it ended up, yet) I have not had much luck finding other pieces. My particular interest is on how the training of their employees effected production of the furniture. If there are any pieces you know of, or any documents that may be of help, I would greatly appreciate any input and knowledge you may have. Please feel free to email me directly at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Alanna Mills
