Picked up this brass folding/expanding book rack at the thrift for $3.75 [ATTACH] This Aladdin Alacite lamp was $4.00 at the thrift. [ATTACH]...
T. P. ????? Right side up in the shot with the quarter.
Thanks for posting the other pic. The legs on the first one look a bit fancy for the style and may be from a walnut table with the top replaced....
I think Mexican or, possibly, American Southwest. Seems to have some age to it but not antique.
I also think 50s-60s and more craft than folk art.
The OP's table is definitely refinished and those mending plates are not original. I do think the legs are original and they are not as clunky as...
Thanks for the pics. I think this is probably post-war and bench made as opposed to factory made. I came to this conclusion based primarily on the...
Not sure why the second pic doesn't show. It shows in the preview. Let's try again...... [IMG] Doesn't seem to work despite trying a couple...
There is nothing quite like experience. I have seen a lot of these tables over the years and my first kitchen table as an adult was one nearly...

Dimensions to start, including thickness of the top. Pics of both the underside of the top and the bottom of the shelf, including hardware.
Took OP at his word that it is a painting. I see the spot you are talking about. It is certainly possible for paintings to have water stain...
Agree, not fumed. In correctly done fumed quartersawn oak, the medullary rays are darker than the background. It is just the opposite of stained....
This second table is in the arts and crafts style. Whether it is period or not can't be told from these pics.
I am with Alec. I think this is better than many and eminently salable. Depending on how much under $50.00 you got this, would determine whether...
I'm with the others on this. I worked for an unfinished furniture store in the 80's and we were still selling furniture like this then. By the...
If it were mine, I would use panes from the bottom part to make the top part whole. I would, then, make a new window out of the remaining parts or...
