Mersman made table in the early to mid 19th century. The tables were all made in factories and normally they used oak to make their tables with. These items sold well back then and it seemed everyone had one or two in their homes. Today the value of the table is right around $25 to $35.
Here's a link with the same 35-62 style table in a set that sold for $35.00 for the pair in 2015 with a 30% disc. Add the 30% disc. back on and it's value then was $45.50 In 2019 the value may have increased a bit....so you have something to go on in comparisons.
Nice piece! Sturdy! Looks like walnut, post 1950s (probably early 1960s). Their numbers are like gibberish and not helpful in dating the pieces. The sticker and how the name is portrayed helps some--I am giving my opinion based on the look and my knowledge of furniture in the resale world--however--it does take someone seeing the piece in person to give you the best info.
As to value, sadly, this style and wood are the least popular of the pieces and they sell (SOLD prices) around $25-$50 depending on where you are and the supply and demand for the item.
I am in a very high supply location and very low demand--so where I would get $25 or less. If you are in a low supply, high demand area, you may get a little more than $50.
Start high, take best offer and don't be disappointed if it is below $25.
Nice piece! Will last the new owners for many years as these pieces were built for middle class homes and to withstand living with them and using them!
Thanks for sharing! Post back with an update!
It is probably made of oak. It may have a veneer. It was made in the early to mid portion of the 20th century and is worth about $30-$55.
Your estimation is too low . Have you ever gone into a furniture store and see the new stapled and glued pieces that are going for 200 and up . I started refurbishing furniture a few years ago and have found a real appreciation for vintage furniture .
This end table right now is going for $25 to $35 on ebay. Putting your piece on auction/bid might get you more!
