[ghopper1924]

I bought out a storage and found this wonderful table inside.I have no idea who the maker is but was told it wasn't made in USA.What kind of table is this called.Would love any information.

Susiecat, what did the seller tell you about where it was made? The consensus seems to be that it was made in the USA.

Not really !!  Castors were used till the 1940`s !!

Mart and KC,

Please behave!  You are going to give Jacon4 "the big one" with all this talk about "sanding" and "fitting with a marble, travertine or soapstone top"....

Too funny!!!

[mart]

Castors were common on furniture until late 1930`s !!  Would like to see under the top,, Could be German or Dutch even if made here !!

[KC]

SophieMarie it is good for him - keeps the heart a tickin'!    Tee Hee

It looks to me like a library table, ..... like so.

[mart]

Ha !!  SophieMarie,, you have an education coming !!  Wait till you hear Jacon4 when he really gets on me !! 

Ghopper have you ever watched Storage Wars ??  The auctioneers tell you nothing !!  Or,, they never  told me anything !!

Cogar,, thats a real possibility !!

[KC]

We may likely never know what the table was originally for.  But would still like to see pics of undersides of top and bottom!

[mart]

If you look at the carvings,, they have the typical Pennsylvania Dutch tulip shape !!  Thats where I think it may have been made !!

Usually a library table is open along the length,, this is open on the ends !!  Its unusual !!  But still would look good in a country kitchen !!

Mart, I noticed the same thing about the Pennsylvania Dutch aspects of the piece...yet the rest of it doesn't yell that out. 

[mart]

I think likely German immigrant in that area !!
