    I like it, suppose it could be a retro set, but I'd think more likely circa 1950s - to my eye, doesn't really look up to Woodard quality. Seems clearly wrought iron with steel mesh, I've had a more traditional iron and mesh table and chair set for well over 40 years and it already had some age to it when I got it (really heavy and sturdy) - have painted it at least three times, and no matter how well I prep, the paint still starts chipping off after a couple of years, I touch it up until it's just easier to do a complete repaint...

    Thanks Greg. Shows why I don't deal with wrought iron.

    There is a rusting rectangular table in my dad's back yard that was my Aunts circa 1963-64-65 at her little "cottage down the street when i was a wee lad ....same pattern / construction, sadly the ocean air and plants that sat on it outside have taken a tole and now in it's final life it is a pretend burger BBQ for my 5 year old .....

    Hi,
    When I find rusted through wrought iron, I repair it with Bondo. It is found at auto repair places. It covers and can be molded and sanded to be invisible.

    No it was wrought iron - but it doesn't matter; I sold it first thing at my 'estate' sale this morning for $250!

    Wood is pretty but cast aluminum seems to have done best for me. Congrats on the sale back in the summer journey:)

    Those 'St. Louis Arch' style legs and arms sound super unique. As for the maker, Woodard did produce some fantastic mid-century modern pieces, so it's possible! I once stumbled upon a similar set while exploring flea markets with a friend. We couldn't pinpoint the exact style or maker either, but that's part of the charm, isn't it? Sometimes the mystery adds to the allure.
