    My wife and I purchased this at a local antique store and absolutely love it. The base was already distressed when we purchased it so please don’t get on me about painting the wood. If I had my way it would be raw material. Here are photos of it and the only identifying marks I have found. Does anyone have any idea make an age?

    English circa 1930s oak draw-leaf dining table. I have known some in the US on a couple of FB sites to describe these as 'pub tables' which they are not. Part of a matching dining suite.
    If you need to refurbish the top be careful if you are thinking of sanding, as the central panels in the table and leaves are almost certainly veneered.

    Thank you that is good to know. Is 3 the number in the dining set and 141 the production number?

    Quite possibly. 141 may be a batch number. 3 I am usure as my interest didn't lie in decoding factory numbers, only buying/selling/auctioning. It's quite plausible though as the simple dining suite for us Brits consisted of table, chairs and sideboard, if you could afford one. This was/is what's called "Utility furniture" of the period akin to US Depression furniture, hence the caution regarding the panels as ay savig on solid wood was paramount to production costs. Most if not all our utility furniture from the late 20s to the 40s was veneered blockboard for door, plywood panels in the sides, drawer bottoms and backs of sideboards and other furniture.
    Nearly all Jacobean/Elizabethan Revival.
