It has the full piece of slate, undamaged and the five sections of wood that convert it to a dining table. The felt is bad, the net pockets need replacing and the rubber guards need replacing. All the hardware is with it though. How do I find out it's current value and if anyone might be interested in acquiring it? The metal plate is stamped with E.J. Riley LTD Accrington, serial # A64941. Can you point me in the right direction for history? Thank you!

I'm not able to provide any history except that my grandfather probably had a hand in making said table. He worked for E.J. Riley for many years constructing tables. I have his spirit level and also a lamp base of all things[ made from a snooker table leg] which was a wedding present for my mum and dad way back in the forties.
