I purchased a drop leaf mahogany table at a yard sale this week. I am currently in the process of refinishing the top as the previous finish was chipping off from being in the sun too long and it had some water damage. The photos show the table right after having the old finish stripped so it doesn't look like it is in great condition but it really is.This table is about two feet long with the drop leaf portions being down, with them up it is approximately 4 1/2 feet long. I don't have any other dimensions on the table at this time. The table stands on three legs with claw feet. There is a wire mechanism that when pulled makes it possible to pull the table apart to add a leaf to the middle. The leaf wasn't available for purchase with the table. The table slide has the marking "Walter & Company, Wabash, Indiana, Table Slides". From the research I was able to do on this company it seems that they only constructed the table slides and not the entire table. The table has been marked "102" in several spots on the underneath side of the table top. There are no other marks to determine who the maker of this table is and I would really like to know so I can start looking for the middle leaf.
