Hicbri, you are the first to respond, dont know type of wood. Item is located in Vegas. Please send an offer if interested.

It's either walnut or teak for tables like this and this one is American Made, maker unknown. These tend to date from the late 1950's through early 70's.

"Walter of Wabash" was a company starter by Bosler Walter and his partner, who bought a manufacturing company in Huntington, IN,  in1884 and moved it to Wabash shortly after. The partner, Thomas Hennessey, had invented a wooden table slide that allowed dining tables to expand for the insertion of leaves. Walter bought out his partner in 1887 and concentrated on the table slide business.

By the beginning of the 20th century he had the capacity to produce one million prominently marked slides a year and employed 25 men. Bosler Walter died in 1908 but his company remained in family hands and his name became a synonym for table slides and he is often mistakenly credited with actually making the tables that house his slides because his name is often the only one found under the table.

In terms of value, we'd retail a set like this for about $650.00
