<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 279037, member: 5066&quot;]I went to auction house today &amp; examined the splay leg table that started this thread, wonderful way to spend an afternoon.</p><p>OK, some observations, the left rear stretcher is blown out, not totally disconnected but almost, the top i now feel could be original to the piece which would be wonderful. Someone shot modern staples underneath the top at the point where the boards meet, perhaps in a clumsy attempt to keep them together. Other than that, which both above items are restorable, table is right as rain! The owner of the auction helped me remove the top &amp; turn table upside down and in general was very accommodating to my examination. The bad news? Auction owner is putting off sale for 1 week, instead of this Sat. as originally scheduled, it&#039;s the following Sat, the 23rd because of hurricane Irma. He has lots of clients on the coast, Charleston &amp; Savannah for instance, that were impacted by the storm. I HATE IT! I have to wait another week, more time for someone to discover the treasure i have found and snatch it away from poor ol&#039; dad![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
