    Difficult to tell the wood on top, and the legs have some color changes that I cannot quite interpret as these may be in the photograph itself and not in the table legs, but it kind of looks like Maple to me. Looks about ninety years old but I think it could be older. Perhaps @verybrad will know more.

    Your photographs are excellent, btw :borg:

    I see Philips head screws which may affect the estimate of age.

    One other thing - can we get a better lit picture of the supports for the leaves?

    Good suggestion, Bakers, I wonder if the top and the legs are "married" ??

    Given the different colors I suppose it's possible.

    Interesting arrangement for holding up the leaves. Haven't seen this before.

    Think we'll need @verybrad to weigh in on wood variety and construction.

    Thanks for the extra photos with better lighting, it actually does appear to be the same wood now, not married pieces. I have seen this type of support before, but not with the little white knobs. Not sure it would have come with those originally, but they're nothing to worry about either way.

    Also, I have no explanation for the cross slot screws, unless the table is newer than I thought..

    It is maple and has to be relatively new, given construction. Probably no earlier than the 60s but more likely a decade or so later.

    Very little. Looks like some nice figure on maple top but, most antique drop leafs are selling for a song these days & yours is vintage at best so there that is. Guesses $100 or less.

    Agree, we sell complete vintage sets with 4 chairs for under $150.00 at retail. Would price just the table around $65.00. At auction or other wholesale venues, worth significantly less. You might do better (or worse) in your market.
