<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 2469796, member: 5170&quot;]Not sure that the symbol has any specific meaning, although I note that there&#039;s a &quot;9&quot; and a &quot;6&quot; in it. Perhaps for the date the table was made, 1896? Well, that&#039;s speculation, but it COULD be true. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a superior quality 1890s Renaissance Revival oak table in the R.J. Horner mode. Nice trestle form with cup and cover table supports descended from 17th century precedents. Fine gadroon motif on the table top skirt. </p><p><br /></p><p>I dunno, if it were me I&#039;d investigate cutting an oak top to match the rest. Without a top alot of the value would be gone; in my part of the U.S. I&#039;d expect it to fetch maybe $50-$100 at auction. Several times that with the top.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
