    Thank you! I did a search on "dough box table"and came up with several similar and one exactly like mine. Now I have a name for it.

    I agree, at least 60's maybe 50's. I have my grandmas. It is round but also maple. It has been around as long as I can remember and I am a baby boomer.

    I refinished one like this for my daughter-in-law a couple of years ago. She found it at a garage sale.

    That is a very nice find. I remember seeing them in the '70's....and they weren't new then.
