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.
George Hunzinger was a furniture maker during the later half of the 19th century. He emigrated to the United States in 1855 and began manufacturing furniture in New York City. Like his contemporary furniture makers of the Victorian Age, Hunzinger's pieces are very decorative. What is unique about his furniture is the innovative and distinctive designs he patented. This site contains information and photo's of Hunzinger's work.

Hunzinger Gaming Table
Standard Rocker - Hunzinger Lollipops
This is a perfect example of a really nice Hunzinger with really bad upholstery. Luckily that is easy enough to change. It is for sale on eBay now.
