I am having trouble finding any info on a shelf that converts to a table, that i recently aquired. I am not a collector i just really liked this piece. Any help you can provide would be much appreciated You have what appears to be an Oak Victorian Combination Shelf Table that was either made by (or design borrowed from) The Combination Table Company out of Bryan, OH. The shelf/table was patented in 1893 and 1896. Your piece has a nice stick and ball design on the side, which along with other minor variations, differs from the typical pieces found by the CTC. Your table is in obvious need of restoration. In restored condition, it could fetch $500-650 at a good auction.
