    IMG_8090.PNG IMG_8091.PNG Hi there, I'm new here and I'm hoping you knowledgeable antique lovers could help me. I've recently purchased this vintage/antique drafting table and I'm trying to ascertain value to decide whether to keep or sell. Second photo shows 1920 on the iron part. I'm having a hard time finding info online. Does any one have any valuable input? Thank you in advance.

    Hi, thanks for your inpput TallCakes. I read about Hamilton's....I was thinking possibly that as well. Most Hamilton's have some sort of label to identify them but sadly, mine doesn't. It just has the 1920 on the iron part. It still works perfectly which is pretty cool!

    I would say the 1920 is the casting part number - not an actual year.

    I was thinking the same thing! Restoration Hardware has a reproduction drafting table for approx. $1,700. I paid $35 for an original....not bad, right? I think it would make a gorgeous dining room table!

    Thank you for your input. I didn't think about it being a part number but I'm sure you're right.

    Thank you. I love being around like minded people who appreciate beautiful vintage/antique pieces as much as I do. :) Think I'll be hanging around here since I've got a lot to learn.
