Need assistance identifying table

Recently picked up this piece, but before I do any restoration work on it I am trying to identify the actual piece (age, manufacturer, etc...). There is a glass piece that covers the top in the middle that I did not include in the pictures but do have as well, just have put away for safekeeping.Any assistance you can provide will be most appreciated. ~Don

 

I've not seen anything like that.
Wonder if the sides had tin liners for plants?

Does the glass cover the open ends or just the center square?

 

Just the center piece. The ends are open and do not appear to have had any hardware on them (as if they may have had a cover at one time like an old sewing table has).

 

I have a tough time thinking that the glass piece that fits the center was original - same with the wood piece that's on it now.

Does the center opening go straight to the inside of the drawer or is there some structure there?

 

I believe the wood is all original (but probably not the glass as you state). See attached as to why I believe that. The second picture has the handwritten #5 on the bottom, same as the bottom of the drawer in my original post, and the stain patterns match both the top and the bottom pieces. It appears someone just maybe replaced the original inlay (if there was anything other than wood) on the top with what is currently there.

 

Ah! I did not realize what that picture (of the underside looking into the drawer space) was supposed to show me.

So let me see if I understand correctly - the part on top is made up of a square "frame" that's attached to the rest of the table and the frame has a center piece (the part with the #5 on the bottom and the linoleum on the top) that lifts out. Right?

 

Is there a "lip" around the edge of the center square piece of wood to hold the glass in?

 

I think it was originally a games table, like this one.

Thanks so much. Gives me ideas on restoration!

 

Sure looks like that games table but not nearly as old. I think this is probably circa 1930.
