    Can anyone help me identify the age of this table that was left in my basement? Or even what kind of wood it’s made out of and why the numbered metal tag underneath it means? Any info at all will help!

    Hi Brandon and WELCOME!!! Could you step back and take a couple of pictures of the whole table for us, from several angles, including underneath!!!! Thanks! We don't know what we're looking at!!! You can post up to 10 images EACH time you post if need be! I'm not one of the furniture/wood gurus, but they will be along, probably tomorrow at this point!!!

    can't see the forest for the trees...
    but....the tag could be a work station number as the oak table looks to be a work bench....with that heavy hardware, & double over paint...

    I was also thinking it was originally a work bench. I’m in the metro Detroit area so figured it may have came from an old automotive factory. You think it’s from 1940s? I planned on stripping the paint layers off and restoring it to a natural wood finish but wanted to find out as much about it as possible before I do anything to it.

    Here are some more pics, I can get some better ones tomorrow.

    Looks like a commercial table for a library or school. Styling suggests 1920 but may have been made for a lot of years unchanged. Looks like oak. Tag is probably an inventory tag.
