Is your lumber stamped?

When checking these stamps, be careful to see if they look older than more modern stamps.
Most of the time you can find lumber stamped on the sides that face outward since the stamps served as directions for the construction workers to complete the project.
There are 3 main areas in your home to find these stamps which are the attic, basement, and crawl spaces of your home. The spaces typically are unfinished and have many of the beams, and floor joists exposed for you to look at.

Are there shipping labels?

These labels can provide critical information about your home. They can tell us who built the home, what model, what company, and the date of issue.
These labels can also be found on certain light fixtures, under the deck, and on the original roof.

Are there stamps on the crown molding or baseboard?

Sears and Roebuck & Co. would typically have a small stamp on these decorative pieces since they won't be a major focal point when entering the room. You may have a stamp if you see a small circle with an SR.
These markings can also be found on other fixtures in the home as well, such as, the bathtub, sink, and back or insides of cabinets.
