Hunzinger patented table

I found this one over on the Rare Victorian Fourm. A gentleman posted pics of his table along with the attached patent plaq. If you are interested in getting some answers about victorian furniture you may have, the members of the forum always provide good feedback. Kudos to RareVic for setting it up.

Hunzinger Tables

There are usually a half-dozen of Hunzinger's flip-top gaming tables that sell on eBay each year. Nearly all of them have been re-surfaced at some point (cards put a lot of wear on that felt!). This particular one appears to have original finish along with a decrotive floral patern on the table top. Check out the feet and frame of the table. Very nice!

Rotating Top Game Table

This Hunzinger game table is slightly different than all the others I have seen. In addition to the felt fabric backing, this table has a large number of pockets for chips or cards or whatever they used 140 years ago...


Thx Christa for sending it to me!

Hunzinger Folding Game Table

This is listing on eBay right now. It is a folding game table. The seller says that it has a Hunzinger patent plate on the bottom. It is covered by an awful fabric. Hopefully that is not original! I have not seen a square Hunzinger game table before. Perhaps it is on one of the patents that I have not researched yet. The pictures of the hinges and the cups on the table are pretty cool. Not sure why the photographer felt that a wild beast needed to be included in the picture... interesting.

Hunzinger Gaming Table

This gaming table looks to be in great condition. I wish I could get it. It is one of his pattented pieces. Very nice. Selling on eBay right now.
