@lindac, thank you!! Yes, once upon a time our family was large enough to take up that table and more. ;) I know that's one reason my mom wants to keep and restore it. I will look for someone to create leaves with an apron. I never have it without at least one leaf in it anyway. And, I am hoping to use it fully extended in our next home.

In the olden days, a plumber with some washers could probably rebuild your parent’s faucet on site. Today, maybe not, your folks bath may have more issues than a leaking faucet. Based on your pictures and question...I wonder if you are able to DIY... faucet stem washer replacement

Is this a thrift store where people bring in what they want to sell, and when/if the store sells it, they get a 'cut' of the selling price? If yes, they should have a list of consigners, and may be able to contact the owner of these and ask if they know anything about them.

I’m wondering if it’s handmade, like from a craft kit. This was a popular thing to do when I was a kid in the 60s-70s. I know we made trays like this.
