Title: Old Hickory Martinsville, Indiana Table
Post by: dkirk00 on September 23, 2009, 01:34:41 PM

I was trying to sell an unusual old bentwood table on Craigslist when I discovered the Old Hickory brand underneath.  My mother-in-law at some point covered the top of this 30" x 30" X 30" hickory table, which had belonged to her grandmother, with ceramic tile.  Does that mean that this early 20th-century table is now worthless?  Is there still a market for this type of rustic, vintage furniture?
