Title: I need help finding info about a table
Post by: cav2006 on September 15, 2010, 06:56:45 pm

I have a card table with 2 self storing leaves. It is wood (not sure what kind). If you pull out one of the legs the rest will open up. There is a torn paper underneath and all I can really read on it is F.B. Mfg. Co Hoboken NJ. There are also directions on how to open up the table. Can anyone help me with info regarding this table? Was told it is antique but couldn't find info for manufacturer on internet. Thanks!!

Sounds like a handy card table to have.  Could you post some pics?  The members that visit this board really like visuals so they can see exactly what you are describing.  "A picture is worth a thousand words...or at least a hundred words."  ;D

Really need some pics or this could describe any number of tables!

Ferguson Bros. (The Ferguson Brothers Manufacturing Company made furniture in Hoboken, NJ from 1898 - 1953. They were family owned until being bought in 1953 by Sun-Glo Industries. At this time the company was moved west to Virginia.)
