Ok thanks for clearing that up.  I also saw something regarding george III table that looks similar.  Would this be a style as well? 

I am now looking for reference material to try and get a better date based on the latching mechanism.

No markings at all unfortunately.  It is starting to look like the table is of the chippendale style but I also saw some similar Philadelphia style tables as well.

I am interested in finding our more about this piece.  I am new to this and was not particularly sure if I dated the item correctly.  I figured it to be late 19th century due to the manufacture techniques used for the mechanical bits.  I have seen other tables of similar fashion and folks seem to think it is a Chippendale style but other research has contradicted that theory.  I am interested in who made the piece and possibly a rough estimate on value. 

Thanks to anyone who can help.
