A SMALL Trestle Table owned by Mrs. Anna H. Howard of Whitman,
Massachusetts. Comparing it with that on the previous page we see this
has two turned trusses, while that has one, but that has a high truss. This
has an oval top, that a rectangular top. They are great rarities. Date:
166o-i68o.
A peculiarity here is that the shoes are wider than the posts. These
tables belong with the trestles and boards, but date a little later.
