Thanks

I believe it's a Mersman.

In my opinion, it's worth about $75-$100 because it is in great shape. As the article says, millions upon millions were made and they are really common. Cool table!
By the style of the sticker and table, I'm guessing 1950's-ish. What does everyone else think?

My parents had Mersman Fruitwood finish end tables they bought new in 1965.  Quality built but a dated style.  We had a hard time selling them for $20 each at the Estate sale...finally made a deal on all 3.  This table looks older so it is probably from the 50s.  I think one would be hard pressed to get $75-100 in my area (Midwest).  I think $35-50 would be more of the range here and that would be on a good day.  Too new and plentiful in my opinion.

Thank you so much, I went to ebay and found one just like it for 199.00 I thought that was a little high.
