<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 147011, member: 44&quot;]I should have added in my about reply that possum belly table were earlier than &quot;Hoosiers.&quot; They date from c1900 to c1930. Hoosier cabinets were named for the company that made them, Hoosier Mfg. Co. of Indiana. According to the following article possum belly baker&#039;s table usually started out as cabinets with a hutch or cupboard type top that sat on top of the table.</p><p><a href="https://qisforquandie.com/2015/11/02/playing-possum/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://qisforquandie.com/2015/11/02/playing-possum/" rel="nofollow">https://qisforquandie.com/2015/11/02/playing-possum/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>From some of my research, it seems many of the cupboards didn&#039;t last as long as the tables. It seems several people that have refinished the tables have replaced the tops with tops from Hoosier cabinets. I have a Hoosier cabinet in my breakfast room. It has been refinished with the doors removed to display my small copper, pink, etc... luster collection and a few transferware plates.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
