This table is a little more unique than most Mersman side tables, because it is 2 tier shelf with a drawer. Most online have single shelf with one drawer. Online the asking prices range from $95 to $250 for similar table. - www.etsy.com/search?q=mersman%20side%20%20tsbles

Mersman is a good brand but not considered 'top of the line'.
The numbers on Mersman furniture do not provide very much information as the company did not keep records showing how the numbers related to dates, age, style, material, etc. or at least no one has ever found any records of this type.

The style of marks on their furniture can sometimes help find a series of dates that furniture was produced because the company did change the style of labels/marks they used as the company changed ownership or for other reasons.
Since you do not show a picture of your label we cannot help with that feature. Mersman pieces are generally listed as 'Mid Century' because actual dates are unknown.
Online asking prices will be all over the place as asking prices do not indicate value but only show what a seller would like to receive for their items. Only an identical sold item will show value as it shows what someone was willing to pay for that item.

I have not found your particular table either listed for sale or sold and it may be a little more valuable than some of the 'regular' side/end tables (if it is in good condition).

I can only show you a couple of 'similar tables' that have recently sold but that does not provide very much to base your table value on.
This shows 2 nice end tables that sold for $36 in 2/20.

This link shows an end table sold on eBay for $20 plus shipping in 12/20.

Shipping is always high for furniture and that is the reason most sellers list their large pieces as 'local pick up' so no shipping is involved. Of course, that limits the potential buyers as someone who lives within approximately 50-60 radius of your address. Likes and dislikes for styles/cost/brands of furniture are regional so what sells quickly for a good price in one area may never sell in another. What type is your area? Only you will be able to find that information and generally it is found by listing your item and seeing what happens.

You may wish to list your table on several sites: maybe Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, LetGo, etc and start your price higher - maybe $300 - list it with 'best offer considered', pick up only and after a few weeks/months if no offers received then you can lower the price and wait again.

There is information on both of these links.

From what I have seen, this table is worth $50-$75.
