I cannot access my copy of the magazine at the moment (it is in a box, somewhere, in the Attic of Doom and Lots of Stuff), but I believe the bedroom suite in question is that which is referenced in the following passage from the article:<br/><br/>"Reutlinger bought the three-piece bedroom suite in 1960 for $135 at a Butterfields auction. Consisting of a bed, a dresser, and a stand with a place for a chamberpot, it is a good example of high-style Renaissance revival furniture. The suite has been attributed to Goodwin and Company (1862-c. 1878), a San Francisco furniture retailer and manufacturer, based on a similar bedside commode stamped "J. P. Goodwin and Company" that has recently turned up on the market."
