Hello, I am new to this board and I have recently purchased a dining set that consists of six ladderback chairs, with rush seats and a dining table with slender legs. It is stamped Walter of Wabash underneath the table and there is also a label stamped that I can only make out part of. It says something about Mastercraft, has a set of lot numbers and that's it. Can anyone help me identify the age and origin of this piece? Thanks for your help. Jennifer

I am new to this so everyone bare with me. I have a lovely soft maplewood table with (2) leafs, along with these gorgeous multi-colored needlepoint dining chairs and a Captain's Chair. When we turned the table over it was stamped Walter of Wabash and we could not find any other information. With my current research most of the responses have stated that the leaf inserts are made by him. At this point I am very confused and just need some advice on if there are other furniture makers responsible for making this dining set and who they are. The couple that sold if to my farther over 20 years ago said it was made in the 1940 - 1950's. Please help!

Since Walter of Wabash make ONLY the slides as stated on this board, I am writing to you to see if you can give me information on how to get a replacement slide for my oak dining room table. It measures 24" in the closed position and is for a one leaf table.

I purchased a creme colored table with a pedestal base with a gold trim on the bottom and 6 creme colored chairs with vinyl cushioned bottoms and backs. It is stamped walter of wabash on the slides. I think it has a formica top. the chairs are metal and very heavy. I need to replace the vinyl seat cushions. Any info on where to find this table and chairs would help.

Did anyone read the reply above?
RE: Your question... Walter of Wabash makes ONLY the wooden slides NOT the table. He normally sells his slide systems to the Amish who build table / chairs and furniture normally out of oak,cherry etc... The slides are built & sold and used in the manufacture of these tables with extensions etc.. Hope this helps..

Your dining room sets could be made by a company called Honderich.

Hi My question is we were given a dinning room table with side board. The table came with 6 chairs. Under the table I found the name Walter & company Wabash Indiana #95.GFT. is stamped on the table. I would like to know when this table was made and the value it would be worth now.
Thank you
Lucy

Hi Jennifer!
Did you ever find out more on your Wabash dining set. I was just trying to find info on it myself. My boyfriend has his parents dining set and it sounds very much like the one you describe. The table has slender legs and we only have four low back chairs. We just finished sanding it down and restaining it.
He says his parents bought it in 1964. I can't seem to find anything on furniture with Walter of Wabash. Was just curious if you know more about it.
Thanks
