I inherited an old drop leaf table that has a Brandt copper or metal tag inside the drawer that says Brandt furniture "furniture of character" Hagerstown Maryland. The table has the number 3938 on the bottom. I was told that meant it was made in 1939. It been in my family since that time. I can't find out anything about value. T. B.

I haven't, but perhaps one of our readers have. If you can give T.B. any help I will forward your information on to them. Use the link below to respond to me directly.

I know that there is not much of it left, and it is pretty popular in the right places on the east coast, so I'd hang on to it and let the cycle of worth come back around in another generation or so.
