    Went down to the Sallies this morning for a look not expecting much as there hasn't been a lot turning up at any of the op shops that are particularly interesting of late ( except the Sowerby boat!!) . Looked at the area where they have glass, homeware and collectibles and there was nothing of interest for me and as I turned to go out my eyes fell upon this. I needed someone to pinch me as I stood looking at this for quite a while....my mouth was probably open. Unfortunately the hinge pin is missing but as a TV programme of the 70s said "we have the technology to rebuild him", well I have a lathe :)
    I asked the guy in the shop who does the heavy lifting to give me a hand to lift the top off so I could have a good look at everything and while not mint it's in great condition for it's age, means I won't have panic attacks every time someone puts something on it.
    I said I would buy it although I had nowhere to put it at the moment, but for $70 it was going home with me!!
    Its a workday and where I work is on the same street although I'm still on holiday so I went down and got one of the guys to grab a ute and a trailer and we picked it up and took it home. Once there I said to Toby my workmate "we'll quickly take it around onto the back lawn dump it and run"..........as we finished putting it down I looked up and realised it was too late Her Indoors was standing at the ranch slider to the conservatory with hands on hips watching us ............opps :)
    I went back to the Sallies to ask again about the hinge pin and as luck would have it their pick up/delivery truck was just unloading some gear, the guys confirmed there was no hinge pin but it came from a lady who said it was her Grandmothers.

      Great table! You could have a glass top made for it to protect it. Although, that center pillar will still make a great scratching post...

      Thanks Phil, it will be cherished as I've wanted one of these for a long time just never thought one would come my way at such a low price :)

      Thanks DejaVu2.

      Kevin my cat is already a ratbag don't you give her any bad ideas!!

      Thanks Scott.

      I have one like it. England ca. 1820. In Europe they're not uncommon. Like Kevin too !

      Hi Golgatha, yes I see it on your Christmas post 4 years ago it looks very similar. Mine is missing the hinge pin can you tell me if yours is a one piece or 2 and maybe add a photo to the original post please.
    8. Golgatha Golgatha, 10 months ago
      Hi BHIFOS. I've added the photo you wished. My hinge pin is in one piece. You'll have to have a specialist make a replica of the missing one.
    9. BHIFOS BHIFOS, 10 months ago
      Thank you the only pictures I could find on Mr Google the object of the photo wasn't the hinge pin so this is a much better shot. Also knowing it is one pin not two is a great help. Thanks again for your time!!! :)

      Ratbags of the World Unite! She is a handsome lady and I'm sure well worth some occasional mischief.
