I found this about 1' deep in the dirt with my metal detector. I doesn't stick to a magnet so I'm assuming it is cast lead. My parents have owned this house for 35 years, and the former owners had no children, so the only likely origin could possibly be pre 20th century. Prior to this communities existence, Green Haven, MD was a getaway for people of Baltimore City, which is only a minutes boat ride across the creek. They would come over here for picnics and outings on the beach. The first pic is full frontal, it is missing part of a leg and a hand. The second pic is from the back, you can see that it was hinged and the parts could move; however, after so many years in the dirt, they are no longer mobile. The third is a head shot, the face looks like a Chinese monkey, a bit weird. The fourth pic is a side view of the hinges. Any information on this thing would be appreciative.
1 Drexel Heritage Coffee Table. 2 Drexel Heritage Side Tables. Et Cetera Collection. Production dates vary from 1979 for the coffee table and 1986 and 88 respectively for the side tables. Pictures are attached.
I would like the name of the company who made this table, when it was made and the current value of the table. I know of one other identical table in the U.S. which recently sold for $4,800 by lamoderninla.com but there was no more info about the table listed other than the inscription on the handle and that it was made in the 1950's. That table was listed with some damage to the lower legs of the table. My table is in very good condition and there is no damage to the wood base at all. I took the pictures outside.
