Hey there. I believe this table was manufactured in 1969 but can find no similar table by Lane on the internet. Would you be able to help me identify it and also tell me what value it currently holds? Thanks so much.
This is an unique piece that was handed down over a few generations. The material has a velvet feel and the only issue it has is that the fringe is loose in a spot or two. Curious as to the time period and potential value. A deceased family member (born in the 1930's said that as a child, they recalled it at a relative's house.
Volume 1 Issue 1 of the "Summer Edition" of Treasure Chest issued in 1966. It is my understanding this was available by subscription only and there were six issued throughout the summer.
This issue has a stain on the front cover approx., 1/3 from bottom and to right of center. The crossword puzzle, etc, on the inside of the front cover has been completed and the puzzle on the inside back has as well. In addition, there is writing at the top of that page. Otherwise, the book is in very good condition. Curiosity around potential value?
