We are considering offers on this antique (100+years we are told) wooden table. Closed up it is 40 wide by 24. Add the two drop 16 inch ends and the four 10 inch leaves it becomes 97 inches long. It was very easy to open to put the leaves in. It has three padded covers. Comes with four padded chairs. We are selling prior to the upcoming rummage sale as we will need to the room for incoming items. If not sold prior you will be able to see it at the sale. It can be seen by appointment by calling Margee at 906-284-0988 or Sue at 906-265-4771. It is very heavy so you will need help loading it.

Well I certainly was not thinking when I left the Bates School today. We got in an antique wooden table and four chairs. It is a nice size and opens up and you can put up to four leaves. Someone mentioned great for a hunting camp. Closed nice size and when company comes to play cards or eat then put the four leaves in. The top could use refinishing. It has the pads to cover the top as well. Chairs have padded seating. This table is HEAVY and SOLID. Will get pics. We will be looking for a reasonable offer.

Well…let me tell you the BHPS Annual Rummage Sale will not disappoint! The crew is working hard displaying and organizing and reorganizing lol. See you July 2 and 3.
REMINDER: The Sale is at the Bates School this year!!!
There will be two checkouts for easy in and out. One by the front gym doors and one at the back of the gym. We do not take credit cards so please bring cash. Most sales are by donation offers with a reminder this is a fundraiser. (We do reserve the right to reject donation offers). Some items will be marked and perhaps even negotiable.

Thank you for your continued support of the Bates Hall Project. We so appreciate you preserving history and the many memories the Hall holds.
