    We found this wonderful enamel-topped table in an old building under a bunch of junk! It is 40" long X 25" width X 31" high all closed up. But, imagine our surprise when we opened it up and found a pop-up ironing board! The pictures are before and after we cleaned it and put it back in our kitchen where we presume it came from initially. My husband grew up in this house with all the buildings, and he is 67, so we know nothing about it. I have tried to find out information online, but have not found one like it or anyone who has seen one. We would love to have information about it.

      I would still love to know something about this awesome table!

      The enamel top and ironing board would make me think it is mid 20th century.

      I found a similar table on the “Brown & Hopkin’s Country Store” Facebook page. The Martin-Reed Table Company, Hartland, VT is the maker. It is called the “Patco table”
      The Facebook post shows pictures of the table as well as very old directions on how to use the table from the Martin-Reed Table company.

      Oh my goodness, Irishru! I had given up finding out anything about this table! This one is different from mine, but still the first one I have seen with the ironing board. Thank you so much for the information!
