#136 – Pair of Mersman mid-century end tables for your home. They have a single drawer with a double pull with a bottom shelf. Note the dovetail craftsmanship. From the web: The company began as a sawmill in the 19th century with several mills in Indiana. J. B. Mersman began manufacturing tables under the Mersman name in about 1876. Soon, he expanded his product line by adding dining and library tables. One of the Mersman best sellers in the 1920s was called the "Davenport," which as of 2014 is known as a sofa table. The company listed 139 types of sofa tables in 1928, at prices considered expensive at that time. His other products included gateleg tables, radio table cabinets, library tables and what were among the first coffee tables.

Items on the table are not included in the lot and offered separately.
