Is it worth it?

I don't know a lot about antiques/collectables or how to research and get accurate information. Some of you do. If I paid around $180 for this 1920s Cal-Tile Table, did I get worked? Do antique people try to pull fast ones?

sounds like antique road show on PBS is calling your name. i don't have a clue how you find out how much something is worth. good luck, it's a cool table!

Antiques are only valuable if you love them. One man's junk is another man's treasure. Cool table, I have no idea what it is worth. If you love it, who cares? and yes, they will try to fool you and get more.

The table is great!!!!!!! OK--MOST antiques are very cool!!!!! I am certainly NOT an expert, unless having a house (or two) full of antiques makes me one...
If I saw this at a store, I would't have thought the price was out of line. A fun thing about alot of antique dealers is that they will haggle with you on prices. And then, its EVEN more fun!!! Next time you are having so much fun, let me know what other great finds you find!! loves...aunt leslie

Are there any markings by the maker so you know who it's made by and then you can research it or even see what it is going for on ebay?
