PDF Research Via Email $9.95 Paypal or Paypal Express Advance Payment
Klinginfo's most popular and Best Value Added
Service
This is ideal for people who want official information about the age and other details of their furniture. All documents
are scanned at 300 dpi, converted to PDF files, and emailed to you. Your inkjet printer will reproduce this just fine
and it will be readable and adequate for most purposes. A typical response to your furniture research request will
include a verification statement about wood type and date and location of manufacture (V) and/or a letter explaining
the history of your type of Kling Furniture (H) and scanned images of 2 or 3 of the following documents: Original
dated wholesale price list with your suite number (P), Kling Retail Catalog Quality Description—2 to 4 pages (Q),
Kling Retail Catalog pages with your specific furniture pictured (F), magazine ad specific to your furniture (A), Industry
Marketing Brochure with your specific furniture (M), or some other document (T).
Advantages of PDF Research Documentation compared to Full hard Copy Documentation:
a) Less Expensive and no shipping and handling charges.
b) Faster—Typically one to two days vs. one to two weeks.
When you buy this service, have your furniture backstamp number, Kling label type (round, rectangular, or none) and
a brief description of wood (if known) and drawer pull hardware (solid brass, pierced brass, wood, etc.) ready. For
more information on how to find this information, click HERE. Note: you need to look at the back of furniture, not the
#239 in drawer label.

questions during purchase, then get a response within 1-18 hours. Reserach Completed within 48 hours. If you do

Archivists and Researchers of Kling Furniture Information: 1911-1962
The price list you see here is a copy of one page of the wholesale price book used by the main office of Kling Factories in
Mayville, N.Y. These are the prices the factory charged to furniture retailers and other wholesale buyers. The significance
of this document is that it matches the suite or item number found on the back of furniture with the date that it was offered.
These prices should never be considered a current value or appraisal value of furniture.

Standard Hard Copy Research $22.50 + 3.95 Shipping and Handling
Typically between five and 12 pages total, this research is mailed to you in hard copy form in a flat oversize
envelope via U.S. Post Office first class mail. Photocopies of documents are printed on 28 lb. white paper and
color image copies are generated on a commercial laser printer for clean, crisp, and enduring copies. (Note:
this is most apparent for color pages of the retail catalog and magazine ads, as these hard copies are much
brighter and clearer than the copies reproduced via inkjet printer from emailed PDF copies). Hard Copy
Research also includes a date verification and historical description of your furniture type personally signed by
Klinginfo’s lead archivist, James Arvid Kling, grandson of Arvid Kling--President of Kling Factories from 1934 to
1955. Documents included in this package typically include three or more of the following documents:
Original dated wholesale price list with your suite number (P), Kling Furniture Quality Description—2 to 4 pages
(Q), Kling Retail Catalog pages with your specific furniture pictured (F), magazine ad specific to your furniture
style (A), Industry Marketing Brochure with your specific furniture (M), or some other document (T). Examples
of many of these document types are on the existing website.
Advantages of Full Hard Copy Research compared to PDF documentation:
a) More information—includes signed historical description letter and copies of all related documents
on your style of furniture (compared to a maximum of three documents with PDF).
b) Higher Quality Printing--ideal for keeping with furniture long term.
c) Saves you the trouble and ink expense of printing it yourself.
d) Not sure about the quality of PDF printing on your printer?—no worries with this option
