Hi, I am searching for the value of a Queen City lamp table.

There are no deep scratches or chips.
It is in good shape other than the dust.
There is a small crack at the top of the center post where it meets the table top.

You have what is known as a pie crust table.  They are abundant on the internet.
If yours is a Queen City Furniture Company table from Arkansas...Queen City is a store that sold all brands/kinds of furniture - distributor and wasn't the maker.  They have been in business since 1939.

I can't say that your table is that old.  This style is reproduced all the time due to a timeless design.

Yes you are correct in saying that there are many on the internets. However, I only found one with this number of "lobes" (6), and it was mad back in the 1970's with metal brackets and no lip on the top. I believe this one is much older. The label says Queen City Products and makes no mention of Arkansas. So, is it still the same company?

I actually believe yours is from Queens City Woodworks and Lumber in Springfield MO that started in late 1930's.  BUT due to hardware believe yours is a later product and the company is no longer in existance.

We had another post with this same tag on it on: May 14, 2009, 09:19:19 AM  "Queen City Woodworks table" by Wayne@ksu.edu. However, his also had Springfield MO info with it.

Is it worth anything above yard sale fodder?
