    I picked up two of these tables at a local thrift. They are are about the size and height of a TV table, but I think they are for camping. There are no marks or labels. The folding legs are attached to each other by a big rivet, the tops are stamped steel.

    Does anyone recognize them?

    My dad made lots of like items when we were camping late 50's early 60's. I'm sure he didn't make those- but he would bend metal, drill wood, and come up with all sorts of things. Folding camp chairs with heavy canvas tops, and even a cooler! That darn thing was SO tomfoolery heavy that it took two men and a truck to lift it EMPTY! He mounted it permanently on the fork of the trailer hitch! Good thing too! And of all things - my uncle who "didn't camp" also made one. Eventually we ended up with both of the darn things! I'm sure where ever they may be at this point - if they were cared for... they are still functional!
