This file consists of 79 sketches rendered in pencil. Drawings depict arm chairs manufactured by A. H. Davenport Co., Irving and Casson, or their successor Irving and Casson - A H. Davenport Co. A few drawings are more developed and contain information such as measurements; however, many are very rough sketches. Some of the sketches are quite small; some are also in fragile condition. No customer names are noted. Digital images of a selection of sketches from the file are attached to this record.
