In reply to Anonymous. Sounds like you didn't do shit. My god, you made a whole post about nothing more than turning the top around?! I threw up on my parents couch when I was 17 after drinking too much while they were out of town. I flipped the cushion over and nobody ever knew the difference. Should I write a whole fucking post about it and make sure there's 14 ads that pop up relentlessly on the site while people read about it? No? Well then neither should you.

Thanks for this post! I’m embarking on refinishing a recently acquired table like this that had belonged to my Great Grandmother. I was just curious, how did you remove the label? Mine has also been painted over.

In reply to Judi Cooper. My friend had a car shop. He REpainted some metal filing cabinets with auto paint. Beautiful. There is also pin striping tape for cars which might be more flexible. Good Luck!

In reply to Tabitha Peace. I hope I can post a picture of my grandma’s baking table my sister has. The legs are connected to the rest of the sodden body which also has the metal tag on it. I do t see a way to post a pic sadly.

I have a porcelain top kitchen table with wooden legs made by Muchler Brothers of Napanee, Indiana. I believe the legs are original as I have seen many with identical legs. Perhaps it’s a regional thing. And just for the record, I am
an antique dealer in Pennsylvania.

I have a Hoosier table that I made in an island, it has a red strip on the metal top that extends, how can I paint that stripe Black? I have tried to tape the curved edges but it does not work! Is there anyone I could have do it for me?

Hi
I have two enamel top tables that were imported into Australia along with a Hoosier cabinet and two matching Hoosier storage cupboards. They were imported from Ohio in the 1920’s and the Hoosier centre cabinet has the original import sticker. The only thing missing is the mincer.
Both tables have the original straight wooden legs.
Hoosier cabinets are rare in Australia. I love them and they are much admired.

Hello. The table is beautiful. I have a question. I have been told by a lady who says she grew up in Ohio where she saw many enamel top tables but never one with wooden legs. And she has been an antique dealer for mant years and hasn't seen any with wooden legs that was original. She says the tables with wooden legs and without the extendable leaves have been redone. I keep finding both styles when I Google enamel top tables. So is the wood legs original or not??

Wow it looks so good now! I’ve passed enamel tops because I didn’t know how to clean them up. Love the color it looks brand new.
