As a side note a few years back I visited Niagara North Dakota and visited their tiny museum. The guide was a man in his 80's and after a lively discussion I learned that his mother worked as a seamstress for my grandfather sewing the material for the airplane wings.

a_bluescat, ISMACS has an entry under Class 31 Singer for your table. Its listed as Singer Table # 5231
Also there is one on fleabay titled "1928 Singer Model 31 Tailor Sewing Machine ....". He lists the dimensions
as:38" x 19" folded down, 47-1/2 x 25" both sides up.
These dimensions match a table I have but I am missing the left leaf.
Lee Copp has some pictures of a restored one with coffin top here:

The rear leaf has a complex hinge system that lets the leaf slide sideways to line up
with the left leaf when both are up. SteveH has a good picture of it in his thread.
