I am looking for information on some walnut furniture that belongs to my mother, It is walnut and the only label is Bissman Walnut. It consists of a dining room table with 6 chairs, a desk and a coffee table. The desk and coffee table are kidney shaped. I think this furniture was bought in about 1953 in Parsons, Kansas, Any information would be appreciated, Thank you.

I have a Bissman table and two lyre back chairs that were my great grandmothers. I would like to purchase more chairs if anyone is willing to sell them.

Carl Bissman manufactured this furniture during the 1940's and 50's. His furniture is unique and extremely well made.
The company is no longer in production since Mr. Bissman's death, but there MAY be some around Springfield.
Google: www.UHNASPRINGFIELDMO.com to find out more about this man who lived very modestly all his life, just a few blocks from my house.
He was certainly a perfectionist!

I inherited my mother's solid walnut Bissman Walnut Dining room set. It has six chairs, a buffet and she had also purchased a kidney shaped desk, two step end table and a larger step corner table. They are in beautiful condition. Were purchased in the early 1950's. My parents also lived in Kansas. I think the furniture was ordered from Missouri. It is wonderful furniture made with good quality.

I, too, have the dining room table..(would love to have
more chairs). Bissman furniture was located in
Springfield, Missouri. My parents lived in Coffeyville,
Kansas. It is solid walnut and still beautiful. I'd
love to know more about the company. We could probably
ask the
Springfield Historical Society...
Hope this helps...
