Random numbers are usually meant for factory inventory/design etc - (code).
It appears that several companies made this style table and one company could have changed the style if they continued making this type of table.
I did not find any famous brand table made in this style but another member may do so.
This means the tables were made by any number of furniture makers and sold on the open market to any store interested in this type of table.

Condition means a lot with leather tables as once it starts to deteriorate there is no way to repair it; only to replace it.
Your table seems to have some damage but maybe not extensive.

The tables that are listed for sale do not show value as only a sold item indicates what someone was willing to pay for that item.

These tables are large and heavy so you will notice that tables listed for sale or sold will usually be listed as 'local pick up only' as shipping would be costly.

This similar table has been listed for sale for over 18 months, sale price reduced several times with an asking price of $81 located in New York.

This is a similar table (which has leaves and different legs/bottom) that is listed for sale in Tennessee.

The table is located in an antique store as well as online. The table has been listed for sale for over 5 1/2 years and the price reduced several times.
The present asking price is $419.

This similar table has one bid: $105 so it may sell. Table is located in Georgia.

Value of your table will depend in a large part on how your area feels about this type of table. Like or dislike?
The only real way to test the waters is to post it for sale and see if you receive any offers. Start with a higher price and lower if necessary.

Since there is no manufacturer's stamp, it will be almost impossible to find out who made this table. I think your table is from the 20th century, possibly from the early 20th century. It is not in perfect condition, I think the value of this Duncan Phyfe Style Leather Top Drop Leaf Coffee Table is about $200-250, but the price will depend on the demand in your area.

This Vintage Duncan Phyfe Style Mahogany Leather Top Drop Leaf Coffee Table from mid 20th Century was sold at $698:

www.chairish.com/.../vintage-duncan-phyfe-style-mahogany...

It has a tooled leather top, gold leaf trim, one dovetailed drawer, brass toe caps on casters and is in great condition.

I found a very similar table, but in slightly worse condition, the gold trim on the leather top is almost invisible:

www.chairish.com/.../early-20th-century-antique-english...

It is listed now at $200, was $950.

This one was sold for $12.50:
bid.bidderone.com/.../2890106

Places to sell online:
eBay, Etsy, GoAntiques.com, 1stDibs, Heritage Auctions, Rubylane.com.
There are also Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist.com.
I think if you list in too many places, it can get costly and confusing. Don't forget to take great photos of your demilune cabinet.
