I do see someone offering your exact table and calling it 1920s, but I do not think that is accurate. In the 1920s, the company was called Mersman Bros Brandts from around 1906-1927.
The label of the 1920s was a yellow triangle so I think your piece is later. This link shows the 1920s label which does not match your label:

Based on the marking, your piece would be somewhere from the 1930s-1960s. I am not convinced the fleur de lis is original. I don't remember seeing that on a Mersman piece--but I have not seen every piece.
The rope around the legs will devalue if it is glued on.
The value will depend on the supply and demand in your town.
You can always start high like $300 and take best offer which could be as low as $25.
Unfortunately furniture values are regional so every market is different and one place be a steal at $300 and another, $25 is best offer.
Thanks for sharing! It is a sturdy piece that will last someone a lifetime!
Looks like a nice table but I believe it will be difficult to sell at high value as families are just not into formal dining room settings anymore - the majority of people want usable everyday tables that are seen in open areas usually near an open kitchen area. Seems the stocky family type tables are selling more often in the furniture stores.
Since there are no sold identical or even similar tables that I can find, I would just say that you can start your price at whatever figure you think it is worth. I should say what you think it is worth in your area (maybe a 56-60 mile radius) as shipping for this table would probably cost more than you can sell it for so your listing would be 'pick up only' - the same as most sellers of large pieces of furniture.
If you decide to list it, I would advise you to take several very good pictures from all angles (with no clutter in the background), be sure it is cleaned up - polished maybe.
State dimensions and describe any defects or damage. List on sites like Craigslist, OfferUp, IOffer, LetGo or any other sites you are familiar with. Start higher, maybe $325 and best offer considered and if you have not received any offers in several weeks/months you can lower the price and wait again.
