Drew asked in another topic:

I'm sort surprized these don't bring higher prices, such a nice console. We discused these in the Bel Geddes posting about a month ago...lots of interesting history go along with them. Question; any update on furniture factories related to the 112, mine has a stamp which says 'Factory 28'. Other factory numbers have been listed, I think Philcos with 'factory 16' stamp was Red Lion Furniture. I've been trying to find out who Factory 28 was for years?

Here are the factories/suppliers with known factory numbers, that made cabinets for Philco:

4 - Philco
8 - Philco
15 - Watsontown Furniture Company (later bought by Philco)
16 - Mengel Body Company
17 - Smith Cabinet Company
18 - Wabash Cabinet Company
19 - Maddox Table Company
20 - H.A. Prock Lumber Company
21 - Pennsylvania Furniture Company
25 - Red Lion Cabinet Company

Model 112 Bel Geddes lowboy cabinets were made at the following factories:

Philco (Plant 4) - 11,600
Strathroy Furniture Company - 915
Red Lion Cabinet Company (Plant 25) - 15,342
Canada Furniture Company - 500
Pooley Furniture Company - 500

TOTAL MADE - 28,857

I can't answer which plant was "Plant 28." I can say that Pooley made several cabinets for Philco, and as I recall seeing the "Plant 28" stamp before, there is a good chance it might be Pooley?
