I did some digging around on google but didn't find much, was wondering if any of you would have some insight
My house was built in 1949, wood flooring on the first floors. The 2 bedrooms have oak, the rest was fir. I always assumed the oak was original to the house, but looking at it more closely it has beveled edges. In one of the rooms it was obviously stained and poly'd not too long before we bought in 2000. The other seems as though it was never poly'd, just the remnants of wax. We had a flooring guy in to give an estimate for refinishing and he's convinced that the oak was installed as a pre finished floor.
Looking at the base and door casing which are clearly original and show no evidence of having been removed, and considering it doesn't look like the one room ever had poly on it, is there a chance that they actually installed beveled edge oak flooring in the late 40's/early 50's?
