Comments:
This survivor came out of the basement of Statton Furniture in Hagerstown, MD in 2009.
Statton was a real old, local, and good, furniture factory.
Hagerstown success story.
They built quality, 18th century, mostly cherry stuff.
They finally went out, like they all did, and the auction yielded some unexpected gems like this baby...


66" x 42" table
30" between the spindle.
7 1/2 HP 220/440 VT
1 1/4" x 6"
