A day of mixed results, yesterday. The first stop I made was at the Greater Columbus Antique Mall (aka: the German Village Antique Mall), where I nabbed this Heywood Wakefield 308G side table; the stops at 12 thrift stores, however, left the Bopfish nets totally empty.
$40 later, I have another project.
Here's some of the damage on the top tier.
and on the bottom tier
It most certainly is a Heywood Wakefield 308G
Whats that date stamp say?
Well, nothing some elbow grease, lots of sanding and one of those "re-finish your Heywood Wakefield" kits can't fix. I bet "A Modern Line" would have this sucker sanded and refinished before I could finish typing this blog entry.
Yeah, I just happened to be checking in on the "blogosphere" before retiring and couldn't resist. H/W made quite a few of the 308G tables and I suppose they must have been very popular as I've found them to be some of the easiest to find although normally never in a condition that doesn't need some work. Your table is about the condition I normally see and $40 is a good price if you don't mind doing the refinsihing. I have one in house right now for $249 in "champagne" and another pair in storage that need to be done. I've been somewhat remiss about the H/W refinsihing posts and I guess my last good post for pre/post stuff was here: http://amodernline.blogspot.com/2011/11/conclusion-to-twin-sons-of-diffent.html Let me know if you need some help with how to attack your project and I'd be glad to give you some pointers if you need them! amodernline@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteWow...you more enterprising than I am...which is another way of saying I'm a lot lazier than you are...LOL I can't wait to see it when you're finished.
ReplyDeleteNice find! We were just there two weeks ago and that table was NOT 75% off at the time. Lucky you! Good luck on the refinish.
