Value of Mersman Table?

A small wooden side table with an upper shelf.I got this coffee table on Facebook marketplace and saw the numbers. I am wondering if it is worth anything. The number is 8664 and is a Mersman coffee table.

I am always surprised when I can't find an exact match to a Mersman piece because they are quite plentiful in the world. I am not sure I have ever seen a step coffee table. It is interesting!

I did find what I think are the matching end tables that sold (no date I can see--but I could be missing it) in Philly for 135.00 for the pair:

Furniture prices are highly subjective, and very supply and demand based. You can always start high and take best offer. I would start high at $250 and negotiate from there.

Post back how your sale goes! Thanks for sharing!

Unusual Mersman coffee table - I'm assuming your table is about 18" high?
There were several pieces in this series being sold on one site so the family may have purchased a full set of this series.

The seller shows these numbers:
8660, 8662, 8665 - they do not show #8661 or 8663, 8664.
The coffee table, 8662, is is a drop leaf table so your table must have been a second style coffee table.

I believe these are a series but as usual, Mersman does not always make every detail the same; it appears the legs may be a little different on each piece and the front panel on the end tables have a curve while your table is straight across.

As to value; since there are no sold pieces even resembling your table you will have to decide the value for yourself. Your area (for local pick up only) will have a big bearing on the final value as shipping this item would be very expensive.

I believe I would start my price higher; even $300-$350 with offers considered and local pick up only.
Since you are familiar with Facebook you may want to post it there along with several other sites.
If you receive no offers you can lower the price and hope for the best as your area may not even be 'into' coffee tables of any style/price.
