Description
I contacted some family members of the Watkins Brothers Furniture Company, Lee and Bruce Watkins. The family business existed from around the 1880s to the 1980s. The Watkins Brothers label changed several times over the company's history, and the label on this table was not used after the early 1940s. Earlier than that, they could not date the table for me. It was likely made by one of their smaller facilities as they didn't start using larger manufacturing processes until after WWII. Table has 2 drawers, one on each end.
