    Roughly 1940's. The leather top is classic. You'll have to look at sold listings to get an idea of what they sell for.

    Is there anything wrong with it that would justify throwing it away?

    40s mahogany drum table for sure. Hard sell these days unless cheap enough (or painted :yuck:).

    Hi, Donna, and welcome!

    We've had a few inquiries about Weiman tables here on the boards over the last couple of years. None of the tables is just like yours (tho one is somewhat similar,) but here are the threads, in case you're interested:

    Basically, any Weiman table made in ROCKFORD was made between 1935 & sometime around 1970.

    Weiman Furniture Co. was in business in Rockford, Illinois, after moving there from Chicago ca.1935. They built a new plant in Rockford ca.1940 & remained there until the late 1960's. The company became a division of Bassett Furniture Industries, Inc. in 1979.

    There are a few bits of company info here:

    Donna, I have owned a set of 3 side tables of this same style (don't have them any more so cannot post a picture,) although not made by Weiman. All 3 had leather covering some portion of the top surface - this same color as seen on your table. I would really appreciate seeing a closeup view so I can understand why you say yours is not leather, but rather wood. I have never seen one that is wood, but am willing to be convinced.

    I see lots of drum tables offered at auction, although perhaps not by this particular manufacturer. They rarely top $50 from what I've seen.
