Do you know what the cushions and back are stuffed with? At one time I had a very similar couch from the same period and it was stuffed with horse hair.
I can't help you on the info you were seeking but I just wanted to tell you that seeing this furniture reminded me of when I would go to my grandma's house every Sunday. She had a set like this only I believe hers was green. Talk about a trip down memory lane. Glad you posted it.
This is a Kroehler set from the 20's. You can see magazine ads for sale on Ebay for this exact set 1923-1929.
