I found a 2 tier Mersman table with a green and yellow label on the underside of the bottom tier and chalk writing MEBE 6850/nuh. Also one of the legs had to be wood glued back on. Can you please help me with the value and what age the table is?
Thank you

Mersman tables were made in the mid 20th century. This table is worth from $35-45, because of the leg.
I love these pieces! They were a staple during the 50s and 60s and many middle class newlywed couple started out their new lives together with these (then) affordable and classy pieces!
Some of them have held their value as there is a big (at least where I am) resurgence in interest in the MCM (Mid Century Modern) pieces. The condition may hurt the value some (depends on if it was good fix or not).
To get what the best determination of value, I always go to eBay SOLD auctions and do an apples match of the item and what sold. Apples to apples means design AND condition. If you find only design, take 15-20% off for condition.
The only caveat is when something is sold as a best offer (has a line through the price) you only know that is what the asking price was and it could have sold for anything from one penny to one penny under asking price.
Like this one sold for best price of $95 + shipping (best price was less).

These are a challenge to sell online as shipping is not easy and you have to get the shipping amount correct so they buyer pays the correct amount and you don't get stuck with the overage.
There are lots of good in person sources to sell once you have and established current market price. There is Craig's List, the Pennysaver, Facebook Marketplace, and the old fashioned flea markets, tag sales, and consignment stores.
Hope this helps!
