[QUOTE="John in NC, post: 86007, member: 1180"]Hi Folks, Been exploring this forum here and there, and thought I'd join up. Picked up this library table a few years ago, wondering if it's anything special/ valuable? The lady I got it from brought it down from the Northeast US decades ago and seemed to think it was something special. It opens up with gears, and there are a couple leaves (leafs?) that pop up and rotate (like a hinged "V") to make it larger. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
