I purchased an antique table at an auction and am trying to determine it's value and age. It is a Mersman 7113.

It depends on the condition but about an average of $65
It sold on eBay for $275.
There may be a catalog somewhere that has information on Mersman products but I have never been able to find one. My local library says that no information (other than just antique magazines/books) is available for determining the age of these products or even what product a certain number pertains too. No way to match numbers with models or date this style was made (actually, most models were made over many years). This is the reason you will see Mersman tables listed as "mid-century" as that is when Mersman was in the manufacturing business. They produced over 30 million items when in business. Most antique stores will have at least one Mersman table for sale.
The table Judy noted as selling for $275 was an eBay listing posted in 2014 and the table did not sell - the seller actually closed the listing without selling the table. There was also a table listed on eBay in 2016 for $100 but this seller also closed the listing without selling the table. The one thing in common with both listings is they were for "local pick up only" which means they could not be shipped and it also means the sellers could have sold the tables locally - for what amount?
One table did sell on eBay for $55 in 2012 but, again, local pick up only. The value of your table, as it is with most items like this, is whatever a buyer is will to pay. Your table may be valued from $50-$250 according to the condition but selling it for any of this is still - finding someone who wants it at your price.
Here are the postings about the tables that were not sold and a couple that were sold - but none recently.

Mersman does not have a web site but they do have something on Facebook.
There isn't a lot of information on the Mersman 7113 table. It seems that others tried to sell these tables and they didn't sell. However, if you are interested in a bit of history The Antique Trader has an excellent article to read.
There are so many mersman tables it is worth about fifty dollars.
