Title: My grandmother sent me these pictures....
Post by: opugnant on June 25, 2009, 09:21:17 PM

It's a smoking/humidor/pipe table that has been in the family since as long as she can remember, and she's about sixty.  It's been in her current house since the seventies.  

She asked me to find the history and worth on it, and I can't find it in any of my books.  I'm really swamped so I checked for a few hours on-line, but I couldn't come up with anything that looked like this one.  Any advice?

If I'm not mistaken , it's also a magazine rack ( can't exactly tell from your photos ) .

Here's one from Ebay , @ $125.00 .

It is a smokers stand/humidor/pipe table/magazine stand!   They range in value from $45 and up depending on the maker/condition.
