Constructed with a rectangular hinged top, paneled aprons, turned legs, and an open lower framework fitted to accommodate the two removable demonstration planks. Raising the tabletop reveals applied illustrations on its underside showing the piece configured as a standard table, as a skirt-ironing station, and as a support for two laundry tubs. The tabletop and removable boards allowed a traveling representative to demonstrate each function in miniature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSample is in good condition and rocks when pressure is applied. The skirt-board and tub-rest planks are present, and the hinges move smoothly when raising the tabletop. Light wear, scratches, small abrasions, and finish variation are visible across the table's surface. The applied illustrations beneath the tabletop remain clear with age toning and localized paper loss; only the \"D\" in \"BOARD\" is missing from the text. The purposely loose demonstration boards require careful handling.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n9\" L x 5.5\" W x 5.25\" H\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - 22783 - 102626\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor information regarding shipping, please visit our Terms \u0026amp; Conditions page \u003ca class=\"GeneratedLink\" href=\"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/pages\/shipping\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Industrial Artifacts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68030990745643,"sku":"22783","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/8170\/files\/34e30863-54de-56a9-95f7-76866ba3ec22.jpg?v=1793051217","url":"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/products\/late-19th-century-convertible-table-skirt-board-tub-rest-salesman-sample","provider":"Industrial Artifacts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
