<p>[QUOTE="mark737, post: 3746288, member: 14894"]The original "tulip" tables were designed by Eero Saarinen and made by Knoll, and they still make the officially-licensed versions. Many companies have made versions over the years. I don't know who used the "EST" marking. Yours reminds me of the ones Room and Board have been selling, which if so, are pretty good quality, made in USA versions. The pitted chrome is definitely an issue if looking to sell. You can try some chrome polish like Mother's, sold at auto parts shops. You typically have to polish 3-4 times to see improvement. It will help, but once it starts pitting there's not much you can do to revive it. You could always sand it down, prime, and spray paint in black or white. I think $60-80 is a reasonable expectation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
