[SIZE=1]I am currently moving my mother from her house into a condo. I have discovered that our basement furniture was actually designed by Russell Spanner, a leading Canadian furniture designer of the 1950's. Does anyone know anything about his furntiure and what sort fo market there might be for his living room furniture? [/SIZE]

Russell Spanner is my grandfather. I have lots of input if you need it. A great reference is a catalogue called "A Spanner In The Works" Another book that has some info is "Design In Canada" made from the Design Exchange. Let me know if those were helpful.
Well I think the pieces are worth something. This is from a NY web site.
