Can anyone pass along any information about this buffet?  Maybe a manufacturing company or date?  An estimated value would be wonderful also!!  Thanks so much!

Still dead ends for me, any luck?  I still love my table and continue to search CL and eBay just to see what all is out there.  EBay prices seem really to me, what is the going price on a typical mission style table these days?  Granted Stickley is going to be way up there LOL!

Well, after a full week of coming to dead ends, here is what I ended up with.  Apparently this table was Twin City Mission Furniture Company's signature piece.  Several of these have been seen but not many other designs.  The company was never incoporated according to MN's Sec of State listings and I can't find anyone who has ever seen a catalog or any other literature on them.  Thank you to all who helped, regardless of my shortcomings, I still love my table!

I picked the table up today and I would say it is worth every bit of the $300 that I paid for it and even the $5oo that it could be worth.  I could not believe the ease that the mechanics worked with.  I was able to identify "Minnesota" on the label on the inside of the drawer.  Does that help anyone?  I am so anxious to learn about this piece!!

Thank you for the value.  I feel good about what I paid for it.  Do you have any more info about it?  Possibly company history or time frame?  Thank you for your time!!

I purchased this table off of ebay and have not had a chance to pick it up yet.  I will try and download the info from ebay to post a few pics.  Thank you.
