This wonderful table was manufactured by A.H. Stock Manufacturing Corp. of Newton, Wisconsin, and is called the “Grand Server”. The title hits it on the head. Say you are throwing a dinner party and you need to spice things up. All you do is walk over, slide the top back and crack open your favorite spirits and presto instant party maker! Melody and I purchased this off of Craigslist awhile ago. We really love its kidney shape and the ultra comic white fabric that wraps around it. This table even has a hidden compartment to hide some other party makers.
Ok. I think this table will fit in my rig. Seriously! And so space saving… I think I could talk Dan into it. I just need to lead him to believe is something James Bond would own….
Wish me luck!
Yes, very Bond…James Bond..Actually this is part of our collection. Stuff that’s for sale will be posted in the “for sale” page. Sorry if that was unclear. I need to update that page with other items. I’m still trying to get accustomed to blogging and that page is giving me some trouble. I’m a newbie blogger so bear with me
. If we ever sell the table though we’ll let you know first.
I think that is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen!!!
Thanks Tammy. We love it too.
Awesome table, they are a great conversation piece. I have the same one with a wood grain, I got it on locally e-bay about 10 years ago.
That TV and BBQ grill are fantastic as well!
Hi Jim,
I’ll bet your bar table with the wood grain looks amazing! It definitely is a conversation piece..people think it looks cool and then when you open it up they are amazed.
Did you refinish this table, or does it come in this color combo?
It came like this when we purchased it.
Thanks for the info. It is beautiful! I am looking to purchase one, so I am trying to figure out all the color combos it comes in. So far I have seen walnut top/walnut sides, walnut top/gold sides, black top/white sides and white top/walnut sides. Do you know if that is it?
Hi Shannon,
Here is a link to a blog post my friend Frank wrote about these pieces.The ad shows only 3 styles.

P.S.
Vickie at “A twinkle in Time” is selling one with the walnut top and sides at her shop in Folsom, California.

Do you know how much Vickie is asking for her Grand Server? I live in Wisconsin, so that might be super expensive to ship it here. I am looking at one closer to home that I could get for $475, do you think that is a good deal? The one I am looking at is missing the key for the locking door (and the door is locked). Do you know if you can get a key made for this and approx. what it would cost, or if you could replace the entire locking mechanism and what that would cost?
Hi Shannon, $475 is a good price. It goes for higher here in California. You’ll have to get a locksmith to re-key the door. I’ve only had vending machines re-keyed and that runs about $100-$150.
I am selling one and I live east of Albany,, NY area. Please see my post at http://albany.craigslist.org/fuo/3121818618.html to see pictures. Let me know if you are anyone else may be interested.
Thank you,

I have one for sale!
I have a walnut/walnut version of this table. It has been passed down through the family. It has needed some repair (the original casters broke off and we put on new ones -plus an additional for support). Also the gold leaf on the poles (?) needs work. I would love to sell it and am not sure how. It seems a sin to let it sit in the basement when someone could be showcasing it! Any recommendations on how to go about this? How much I should ask?
Thank you SO much!!
I agree, items like this are ment to be enjoyed and not stored away. I would post it on Craigslist. As far as an asking price they are not that common. I would offer it for somewhere between $250-$300, but that all depends on condition.
Hey Retro Fans! I have one for sale!
I live in the Tampa Bay Area of Florida and just posted on Craigslist

Take look at my pics and if you’re seriously interested shoot me an email.
Thanks!

We have a white with gold side finish (we’re the original owner & it’s in mint condition) like the one on the World’s Fair ad. Bought it in the 1960s. For how much do you think we can sell it?
Hey Wil,
I would search past auctions on Ebay and see what they have sold for in the past. They are very cool and desirable.
