| I am moving my grandmother to a retirement community and she has an old library table that she is stating is an antique/collectible that she needs to sell. I have no clue on what it is, how old it is, nor do I know what something like this is worth. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have pictures that I can email, I did not know how to post them to the forum. Thanks Travis. |

| Would it be rude for me to send you back to take more pictures? I can't figure those out for some reason. I see a drawer but I can't tell up from down on the rest of it. |
|
| It is too covered with clutter to really see well. It looks like it might be a Mission style oak piece? Look at the link I found. |

| Looks very like the piece barnmom posted. Worth about the same amount, unless you can find a stamp of plate with a maker's name on it....like Stickley. Linda C |

| Look all over the table for maker's marks. the difference in price between a well-known brand and an unmarked piece is hundreds of dollars. ... and please take some better pictures. Back up far enough to get the whole table in and give us a full front, full side and closeups of the drawer construction. |

| Here is the only picture i currently have. I will go over this weekend and take more detailed pics. I have looked all over for some markings, but i am unable to find any. |

| Travis, that's cute. I would guess it is "homemade." What town is it in? |
|
| It is located in Kansas. |
|
| I really don't believe it's "homemade", It's a typical mission oak library table. |
