Q:My mother has an oak hutch with an inscribed mark that says, "A Genuine Kuehne Product." Is this piece of furniture a rarity? I can't find any information about the company.

A:Kuehne Manufacturing Co. made kitchen dinette sets in Matoon, Ill., from the time of its founding in 1932 until it closed in 1965. Its early sets were wooden, but by the 1950s Kuehne was making the chromed metal breakfast-room sets so popular during that decade. The value of your hutch is not likely to be more than $100, but its price depends on size, condition and what it's made of.
