This table appeared in a publication called Eagles Market and Price Guide in1990.  Each month this outstanding publication would feature several antiques that sold at auction the previous month.   It included Photographs, descriptions, wood type, age of pine, place of origin, and other key features, along with the price; we have duplicated several pieces from this publication, this being one.     

            Made in Pennsylvania of pine, 84 inches long, 36 inches wide, and 29 inch' stall.  The table base is constructed with mortise and tendon and dovetail joinery, with two drawers for storage.  The table has a three-board top with a mortise and tendon breadboard end that is pined.  The table is attached through a sliding dovetail batten that secures to the base with four hand turned pins.  When the fronts to pins are removed the top can swing up to form a sitting bench. 

            Wehave adapted this table by request from foot to eight feet in length.  The over hang of the top allows plenty of legroom all around the table.
