Any expert on American of Martinsville here? Of all the MCM makers I like their designs and quality the most. Did some, most or all of their MCM designs come from designers? I was hoping someone could ID this bedside table for me. I've also attached a photo showing the back side with a serial number. Thanks!

That said, the earlier pre-1963 pieces are actually very well built and look great. Very unique designs!

I think the common Nelson mis-attribution is mostly because of these-

These are always misattributed to George Nelson in my area.
