Rebecca Motte Solid Mahogany Console Table

Description

I have a Rebecca Motte solid mahogany console table.  It is marked underneath on a label with the number 100.  It is written underneath "100 - 88".  There is a label underneath that has a picture of Rebecca Motte on it with a short biography.  At the very bottom of this label it says GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. with a small insignia.  I would say it is in "fair" condition.  I have searched the Internet to find the exact same table, but could not find one.  Could you tell me how much you think it is worth?
