Primative Side Table with label

I got this at a garage sale over the weekend. Any ideas on the age of it? It also has a label on the top which says H. Davis. I think it was home made from some old crates. The legs are pegged in. The hard ware seems old but sturdy. The wood is definitely aged.

 

I should add I found it in New York near a small town just north of Rome, NY

 

Somebody added spare legs to some kind of storage or shipping box. A "make-do" by a penny-pincher.

 

Kinda cool and clever!!!! Good use of salvaged legs!!

 

A thought about "age" - see whether you can get anything from the internet about the company whose information is printed on that one box panel. You may be able to see more in person than we can see on our computer screens.

 

H.W. Clark Biscuit Co. 1889-1930. Equal did the trick.

What was the name of the "small town?"

The garage sale I found it at was between Floyd and Holland Patent

 

Thanks for this. I found several articles on the company. Once I clean this up and stabalize it, I hope to give it to one of my nephews. Knowing the history behind the crate makes it even cooler

 

Lots of Davises in that neck of the woods. All Welsh. Many of whom were farmers.
