Clearly this table is no van Gogh and the black paint is most definitely hideous, lol, but I&#039;m still curious about the history of these pieces. After all, that&#039;s part of the fun of acquiring antiques!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve only just learned from this thread that Hoosier manufactured these, but since there were several &quot;knockoffs,&quot; I&#039;m wondering if they, too, manufactured these types of tables/cabinets. I&#039;ve also seen ones with various types of legs, possibly indicating manufacturer or approximate manufacture date (more accurately than just narrowing it down to a few decades). But maybe since there&#039;s not much interest in these, nobody has cared to do much research about them, other than that they&#039;re out there. When you mention that they used to be wanted; was this years ago, or decades ago?</p><p><br /></p><p>My first love is, and always will be vintage and antique cast iron cookware, the history for which is generally much more accessible, so I&#039;m new to this whole furniture thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
