Interesting Coffee Table

[dalangdon]

In my excitement over the brick crockpot, I totally forgot about the coffee table!

It's by the Brown Saltman company out of Southern California, who did some really funky and fun stuff (I've got another one of their coffee tables that has a built-in coffee warmer). This one is missing its glass half-top, but has a secret compartment that looks like it was meant to store something else: board games? cocktail fixings? Magazines?

Anybody seen one of these?

the secret compartment

It's very mysterious....

A small arms holding rack perhaps? Cool table.

Cool table and another amazing find!

The slots could be for almost anything. The slots on the left are probably for bottles, the slots on the front and back are probably for poker chips (or something similar). The slot on the right is probably for bottles and/or trays.

Enjoy and once again, I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Very nice table, I'd guess it was for bottles of wine and wine glasses inverted, or some sort of liquor and glassware.

Nice stuff.

That's a great table. I love the color of the wood, and it looks to be in good condition. I also couldn't help but notice the Volvo 245 in the background.

Good taste abounds,

Dave, I loves me my Volvo. Best car I have ever owned. It had 175k miles on it when I bought it, and I've put quite a few on myself over the last few years, and it just keeps running.

I usually gulp my lattes and chardonnay rather than sip them, and I hardly every hug a tree (unless I've had too much of that chardonnay) so I'm not much of a stereotypical Volvo driver. ;-)

Volvo cars

I've owned two of them: a 244 saloon, followed by a 744. Very good machines.

I currently have a Ford, and think it is the biggest crock of s#*t ever!

Had one as well, an 82 GL from 82 to 93. A wonderful car if not a bit underpowered but there wasn't much if anything on the road that could keep up with it on the twisty mountain road north of Vancouver or could do a complete donut on the narrowest city street, they literally turn on a dime. I don't think even the Honda Civics of the time had as tight a turning circle. I drove mine for a couple of hundred thousand miles and we sold it to a niece who in turn moved her family from the west to the east coast, a few years later they returned still with the car and sold it a couple of years after that and it was still on the road last I heard of a couple of years ago somewhere up in Edmonton.

It's not liquor in the front and poker in the rear?
