Mahogany and the number is either the catalog/stock number or the shade for the paint, if any. In this case, it looks like it is the catalog/stock number.

I guesstimate the 50's . My grandmother had this similar piece. You could take your photos and show to a antique/furniture dealer for more info about your pieces.

Thanks for the photo of the mirror. After looking at it, I have a feeling the 38 represents the year of the piece. Furniture had moved out of the big art deco phase and into more utilitarian styles but it had not gotten to the whole Mid Century Modern look. There are legs very similar to these in that era and the castors look like the kind that were becoming popular in this time frame also.

This looks like a mahogany piece from the 40's. It looks like a very nice piece which will soon have antique value.
