[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 4513084, member: 1136"]Yesterday I went to my father's to get my great grandmother's dining table, a spider leg drexel. While we were dismantling it he was telling me how he thought she bought it a year before his father (her son) returned from the Korean War, so in the early 1950s. My father has had it for 10-15 years and has always kept the table top pad on it, which I'm guessing my great grandmother and my grandfather did as well because the top looks brand new (the poor legs and chairs shows a lot of love and use through wear and tear). When I start folding up the pad I saw a lovely green and gold metallic sticker, leaned down to read it... [ATTACH=full]396549[/ATTACH] I looked up at my father and said, "Daddy! Have you been trying to poison us?!" motioning towards the sticker.. We both break out into laughter, making jokes about how he's been slowly poisoning the family over Christmas dinners all these years... ...but seriously, jokes aside, is thing safe to continue using? :bored:[/QUOTE]
