I recently found a table at a thrift store here that was made pre 1920. The company was Arthur A. Marer & Co. from Chicago. I found them online and he died in 1922. The table was beautiful and was made when the company was transitioning into using a type of wood glue and what was almost like panel board. It's starting to come off on the legs, but the wood underneath is solid. The table still looks amazing and it adds a unique quality (except the holes), but is it restorable? And is it worth $250 in the condition it's in? That's the asking price. I would love to know your thoughts. Thank you.

If you are in love with this table and think you can fix the small cosmetic damage I would buy the table. You will need to find a wood that matches this type of of wood, cut the shape, and glue it back in place. Now the hard part is to find the right color stain to stain the wood. You can always try asking for a lower price because of the damage.
