For $100! That's a deal! Hard to ID without seeing the whole thing. Can you take better pics after you get it home? Check under the table for dates and labels on hardware. My gut reaction, based on nothing at all, is that it's a "Sheraton inspired" table from the 20th century ... The legs with the squared feet are very much a Sheraton detail. Clean it carefully with mild soap and water, and rinse with clean water and dry it, then clean it again gently with mineral spirits and 0000 steel wool. That will get the grime and o9ld waxes off so you can see what you really have. Then you can make a decision what to do.

I've lived in Texas all my life and have visited San Antonio frequently. Even with all my Texas pride, the Alamo is one boring tourist attraction. I doubt your 7 year old would be very interested after seeing the first few bullet holes in the walls. Sea World will be a blast and very tiring. I wouldn't try to do anything else that day. We love walking through La Villita and seeing all the old buildings. Once when we were walking through they were having a traditional Mexican wedding and the whole party was going through the streets--it was very lovely. We also make a trip to El Mercado to eat at the restaurants there because they aren't as touristy/expensive as the ones on the River. I haven't been since they moved it from the Lone Star Brewery, but the Buckhorn Museum is really fascinating--your young one would love it. Also try to stop into Durty Nelly's near the Hilton--it's an Irish pub where they play the piano and sing songs and you throw peanut shells on the floor. The whole family would enjoy it. The riverboat tour is a must and I would do it during the day and at night. The lights at night are beautiful. We've always walked the river at night and never had a problem with purse snatchers. Easy solution would be not to carry your purse. There are several missions throughout San Antonio. I've been to most all of them but I can't remember which ones I liked most. Your 7 year old might like visiting one of them. You can walk and climb all around them. There is a Japanese Garden but I'm not sure if that would hold his interest. I'm not sure what direction you're traveling from, but if it's on the way the Wildlife Ranch between San Antonio and New Braunfels is a hoot. You drive through in your own vehicle. I believe they used to sell "I survived the Ostrich" t-shirts because the darn little things were so aggressive about sticking their heads in your car to grab food. Have a great time--San Antonio is lots of fun. Stop by Dick's Last Resort on the Riverwalk if you're in the mood for crazy fun (don't ask where the restrooms are--they'll send you out to the street for laughs).

For best adherence in wood furniture that's going to see a lot of use, an oil based primer is used first. Once that's dry, you need to use an oil based paint. The wood should be sanded well between each application, and if you're doing it in a climate with any humidity, you need to allow for adequate drying time between each coat. The type of finish paint you select is based on whether you want the finish to be matte, satin or semi gloss in appearance.

Clean and sand it. Prime with BIN. Apply two coats of a high quality acrylic paint in satin or better sheen. No further protective coating would be necessary. Don't expect the durability to be that great until that paint has had a chance to fully cure...probably 4 weeks.
