Value of Conant Side Table?

An octagonal wooden side table.I was given a side table years ago and my teenage son had utilized it to place his lamp and what not on it for years. It no longer matched his decor in his room and he no longer wanted it. I had no use for it and was going to put it on the side of the curb for someone to take for free until my husband brought it to my attention that the markings on the bottom of the table could be a vintage piece.

I have personally never heard of Conant Ball furniture before. It is a very unique table in great condition. I believe everything on it is original however I am no expert on this type of thing and have no history on it. I of course have tried to search on Google but never found a table like this. I am hoping someone could help me on finding out if this table is worth keeping.

I would need more pictures to be able to describe your table but I do not believe you have a genuine Conant Ball table.
I'm not sure if the top is Conant Ball as i believe their work was more refined - nothing sharp but smooth curves like this:

Looking at the board attached to the top, the bottom of the table does not seem to match and the pedestal and foot stand is not Conant Ball style and the wood does not seem to match.
My personal opinion (from judging by the pictures (which are not really good enough to make a judgment) I think the only thing genuine Conant Ball is the board attached to the table. It's also possible they have used 2 of the 'feet/stand' but placed in an awkward manner.

I would like to mention that some sellers place items on several different sites and do not always have the same asking price.
Example:
This table is listed on eBay for $160 plus shipping.
www.ebay.com/.../233172906818?hash=item364a303342...

The seller has the same table listed on Etsy for $498 p;us a higher shipping cost.

I hope that I'm mistaken, and maybe another member will provide more accurate information.

You have a Conant Ball side table, model 4102, number 7010. It could be called unique, but I found another identical Conant Ball side table model 4102, but with number 16038:

It seems to me that your table and this one i1020.photobucket.com/.../IMAG0254_zps0e091dc9.jpg are made of different wood, but perhaps the lighting was different. I did not find other differences. People who discussed the identical table in 2014 thought it is a 'married' piece, but I think that since there are already two identical tables with the same model number, there can be no doubt about the originality of these tables.

The Conant Ball Furniture Company was founded in the late 1800s, in Gardner, Massachusetts and closed in 1980. I think your table is from the 1970s or 1980s.
Conant Ball furniture prices can vary depending on size, time period and other attributes. Just clean it up to make it shine. I think the price is $150-250, although it could be higher, people like rare pieces.

Where you can sell it:

local craigslist.org, nextdoor.com, Facebook Marketplace.

The top of your side table has 8 sides. An octagon has 8 sides.
You have Vintage Mid Century Conant Ball Pedestal Octagonal Side End Table.

These side tables look a bit similar, but the names are not correct "Hexagonal Side End Table", because these tables have 8 sides too, height 17.5" width 20", listed at $498:

www.etsy.com/.../vintage-mid-century-conant-ball-pedestal

and at $160
www.ebay.com/.../233172906818

An hexagon has 6 sides.

I think the price of your side table is less, about $150.

I have no doubt that this is a genuine Conant Ball table. I think you have a Conant Ball American Modern table made in the 1960s or 1970s.
Not all furniture made by Conant Ball has very smooth curves:
