Found this at a yard sale for $20. Haven’t done any research on it. Not sure what to do with it, but I liked it. Anyone have any details on it?

azjade, Twenty bucks? Excellent.

So, let see:

LANE
ALTAVISTA VIRGINIA

STYLE NO. 1340 17
SERIAL NO. 2574201

You can read the serial number BACKWARDS to determine the production date.

For example: serial number 753150 would have been produced on 05/13/57.

Some chests may also have an extra digit which denotes the plant location.

For example: serial number 2557121 would have been produced on 12/17/55 in plant #2.

So your table should be of 1952 vintage.

Here's a younger sibling (1954 vintage):
