This is a really unique industrial table purchased from an antique book binder collection here locally.  The person I bought from did specialty leather bookbinding and said that this came from a bindery in the mid west that actually used it as a pounding table for large ledgers and binders.  The heavy cast top can lift out and has large handle openings at each end.  Very heavy though, like a big flat anvil.  The top weighs 115 lbs by itself.

I am selling this as an industrial printer bench or table and likely could have multiple uses.  It most resembles a Printer Turtle Table, and the metal surface is very flat and true.  I do know it was used by printers but it could have other origins too. The surface does have little dings all over it so it did see a lot of use.  The wood and the metal both appear to have ink stains and some buildup around the edges.

Other use:  This could have originally been a machinist inspection plate that was repurposed as a turtle or printer table.

• Top portion is very heavy cast Steel or Iron, and weighs almost exactly 115 lbs by itself. 
• Top cast piece is 20 inch by 24 inch by 2 inch thick.  See pics of it lifted up as it has hollow sections / ridges under
• Maker is a mystery to me - I do not see a maker mark on the steel - it might be there but I did not see it.
• Underneath the cast piece you will see thick flannel strips fixed to the base which dampens the contact nicely.
• Dimensions with wheels and table base:  34.5 inch high x 25.5 inch x 22 inch deep top
• Iron piece is 20" x 24" x 2" and 115 lbs.
