Objects like DAPC_1969-0005 have labels indicating \"Tucker & Griffin\" as partnered furnituremakers. Elisha Tucker and Asa Griffin were presumably active in this cabinetmaking partnership in Boston, Massachusetts about 1809. There is little evidence that Elisha Tucker and Asa Griffin were ever partners, save for a few surviving labels. Both were engaged in cabinet-making and maintained their own shops, but a survey of the Boston directories from 1809 to 1830 does not yield definitive evidence of a partnership. The Boston Directories also list a Lyman Tucker, Jr., a turner, living and working in Boston around the same time as Elisha Tucker and Griffin, however, there is no evidence to suggest a partnership between Lyman Tucker and Griffin, nor is there evidence for an association between Elisha and Lyman Tucker."},{"label":"Subjects (AAT)","value":["Card tables"]},{"label":"Subjects","value":["Card tables"]},{"label":"Bibliography","value":"Article: Richard H.
