What is the retail value? What is the wood type? There is a section of trim missing on the bottom as shown in pic. Is this repairable? Thanks so much

Seems like, at least online, that U.S. prices range from $100-200 depending on condition and other features, including material. If yours is mahogany (as it appears) that's good, as is having the Brandt label and structural integrity. I wouldn't worry about the missing piece of "crust" -- it is what it is, and (in my experience) attempts to repair will be either expensive or obvious or both.
Tables of this type were called "Dumb waiter". An antique dumb waiter is basically a side serving table also known as a buffet which would be in a dining room for storing the food that is about to be served. Dumb waiters were often used in pairs in large houses from the mid-18th century. When the ladies retired after dinner, the dumb waiters were then placed at the end of the table by the footmen. This was then laden with alcoholic drink so the gentlemen could help themselves without too much exertion. Because the staff had retired for the evening, the conversation could open up more, hence the name dumb waiter.
The wood your table is made of looks like Mahogany wood like the Vintage Brandt Genuine Pie Crust Table I found www.chairish.com/
But mahogany furniture dating from 1936 to the mid-1950's often carries a Mahogany Association label, like this Two tier mahogany pie crust table made by Brandt Furniture Co. instappraisal.com/
I think the price is about $100-200 www.ebay.com/
The section of trim missing on the bottom is not easy to repair, but it is possible with the help of a specialist (using a laser).
