Stamp on the metal screw expander shows it was manufactured by Joseph Fitter, who operated a machinist shop called Britannia Works, which was located at 210 Cheapside in Birmingham England. It’s known that Joseph Fitter took over this shop in 1864, so this table was manufactured after that date. See less
