Tell City Drop-Leaf Table and 4 Chairs

Profile picture for user Anne.Marie

Description

I bought these off of a friend of a friend, did some research once I saw the labels, and am curious as to what these are worth.  I know that the drop-leaf tables were first made for a few years prior to the "Second World War, they sold a line of drop-leaf dining room tables which were manufactured by the Tell City Furniture Company; however, this line of tables was discontinued during the war.  In 1947, a similar line was again put on the market, these made by a factory at Shoals, Indiana.  Subsequently, tables and buffets were made by other factories, including the Tell City Desk Company'', but that's as much as I've been able to find out specifically.

(Would redoing these with the Andover stain from the company reduce the value?)

 

Thank you for your time and patience.
