This collection is shown in "The Nixons In Their Backyard," Life Magazine, 09-22, 1958, pgs. 43-46, and remained at the Vice Presidential residential home until 2007.
The garden furniture will require re-painting, as some of the iron is exposed in areas. Of this nine-piece suite, Life Magazine shows only the dining table and three chairs in use by the Nixons. We did not find a manufacture''s mark on these.
