Question I own two tables made by Lane Furniture of Altavista, Va (as stamped), I wanted to find out what years they were made. I have searched online but without any results, I don't want to guess. Also stamped on them is the style no.908-06 and serial no.269290. They are square tables with a cubby and lattice work on two sides. 24"Lx24"Wx22"H. They are beautiful tables, I would love to find out more about them. Thank you for your time!

Answer Lidia - My area of expertise is American antique furniture. Lane is a contemporary (relatively speaking) manufacturer and I do not have Lane catalogs. Your best bet is to contact Lane directly and give them the serial numbers from your table. Contact information can be found at
