[QUOTE="judy, post: 372281, member: 965"]Value will be different in different locales. They used to be quite popular here in (I'm 10 miles N of Boston, Ma), but I honestly don't know what they sell for around here now. Put a price on it that you would be happy getting for it. Condition means a lot.....keep it in mind. Also search tables like yours for different table top colors, patterns, etc. Some can be quite nice. I prefer the table as it is. I would clean the wood and give it a good oiling. There appears to be a little damage to the top, and I don't know of a solution for that. Better to leave as it is, then do a terrible job of trying to fix it! (IMMHO). Let whoever buys it from you choose to paint the base, or do whatever. I've stripped a lot of antiques that someone else decided to paint...... If you want it to look new, buy new. Others will have other opinions and they may be more of what you want to hear!!:cat:[/QUOTE]
