What value is a genuine Teak Wood dinning Table?

Question

Table when folded stores at 36 inches wide by 9 inches deep, an
will open to a full 105 inches by 36 inches.

Sorry I forgot to mention it was purchase
new in 1960 in Ann Arbor, Michigan at
a store that deals in Teak Wood furniture
only. And have had it since, it is in excellent condition, with 2 minor scratchs on surface of one panel, received while moving. You have to examine it closely
to even see them.

Answer 1

Finding reliable information in your table is going to be hard for a number of reasons. It is not old enough to be considered an antique and is too new to be considered vintage. If it was mass produced, chances are slim you will find any specific information on it. If it was made in a particular style by a highly regarded furniture maker (ie: Stickley Furniture), your chances are better.

In the end, your best bet is to take several pictures of the table including close ups of any makers' marks and joinery details. Take the pictures to any vintage furniture consignment shops in your area. These businesses are more common than you might think and the larger the town you live in, the more likely there will be one close by. You can find them in your Yellow Pages. These business owners will usually offer you an educated opinion as to value and will sell the piece for you on consignment is that is what you choose to do.

Good luck with your search for information.
