I have a maple dresser with raised covered wagons and a full size bed with a wagon wheel headboard and a hitching post footboard that belonged to my grandparents.  The marking is "Virginia Home by Lincoln & Al Distributors."  There is a house above the wording.  I have searched the internet but have not been able to find anything.

I also have two wood blacksmith lamps and a wood cutter lamp.

I do not want to sell any of the pieces, just would like to know the value.  I believe they were purchased in the 1940's or 1950's.

Thank you,

Your description puts it square in the 50s.  Generally done in an orange varnish these were traditionally called Hardwood Maple, why I don't know as Maple is hardwood.  The carvings and head board design were specifically made to cater to the childrens' bedrooms.
