<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 180927, member: 37"]Would think circa 1920. I would not attempt to strip this. It would not be worth the effort. Repair and repaint would be the way to go. Top is plywood that is delaminating. I would see about taking that top layer of veneer off and see what you have under there. If the second layer is relatively smooth, You might be able to glue back the edges of the rest of the laminations to stabilize the top. If not, you might need to try and remove as many layers til you get down to a stable surface. You could, then, lay a new sheet of 1/4" plywood over this. To try and remove the entire top may not be possible without deconstructing the entire piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
