Hi Keith,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Its likely that this is marked somewhere (inside a drawer, on the bottom or on the back) that identifies the maker. It probably wouldn't change the value but if you find a name it should be included on the appraisal so please let me know and I'll update this as necessary.
