Beautiful All teak solid wood table with some markings on it ready for a good refinish. I found this piece gorgeous and well made with no real markings except for a small stamp Stating "G.P." ? followed by "9084". All legs screw off and come with number stamps in the 600's. No where does it state a country or where it was made. Comes with 2 leaves. The lip of the table is separate pieces of rounded teak(I think). I have no idea where to begin identifying this table. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. if date can be provided as well Id highly appreciate it. Derrick

I don't know who made the table but I've seen those legs before and will ask my friend who's a dealer today about them.  The detail where they meet the table is what's familiar.
Mostly I just wanted to say that the top isn't solid wood so be careful how you refinish it.  You can't do much sanding without going through the veneer to the substrate.

Spanky,
You are a godsend. Let me know what your dealer friend says, I will be extremely appreciative.
I did some light rubbing with amish wood milk and steel wool to dimish most of the heat marks. May need a second attempt with it to get rid of them completelty. I don't think I'm going to need a full refinish (crosses fingers).
Thanks again

Harry Ostergaard made a very similar table for Randers, and there is another somewhat similar design by Ib Kofod-Larsen. The latter's legs are much different though.

I asked my friend and he doesn't know the maker either, but said that he had one years ago that he bought from a guy who was importing vintage furniture from Denmark.  Maybe yours had a paper label that fell off?

Thanks spanky and cdsilva for your time and insight. I'm gonna do some deep Internet searching to figure out more details. Anything else feel free to share.

Spanky, I think you are thinking of a series of Norwegian tables that have solid teak tops and legs like those.  They are usually coffee tables or side tables.  
Some of them are marked "Made in Norway."  Some of them are unmarked and occasionally mistaken for France and Søn product.  I think I once saw one with a full manufacturer's mark.  
Here is an example, and note I don't think Fredrik Kayser and Vatne are correct, Olof Person maybe....  Will keep thinking about it.  Maybe I can bring it back with some time.

Here's another in a coffee table form.  Unmarked, and mistaken for France and Søn.

OP: I am not sure that these tables are related to yours.  Seems possible, but there are also some strong differences.

I have seen those coffee tables, yes.  But my dealer friend had the same table as in the OP.  He bought it from a guy who imported a container of furniture from Denmark.  That's all the information that I have on it.

Thank you all for the help including Lief Ericson. I have done more research and it does resemble many tables made by Harry Ostengaard, though the legs are slightly different. The info from Lief Ericson is helpful and the legs do look similar, Thought the wood is a pretty sturdy and solid, not as sleek and thin as the ones described. I added three more photos to help the process and narrow it down further.
I checked on the Table today after  light work with Amish Wood Milk to ge the heat stains out and appears it may be needing a full refinish. Should I attempt this myself or should I seek professional help? I am unsure how a table like this should be cared after.
Any additional designer info is greatly appreciated. Thank you all for helping me. I want this table to shine once again.

Might we inquire why you describe it as HW Klein for Bramin on eBay, but here you ask for ID?:

I've asked multiple dealers from around the world asking for identification and that is what multiple dealers have told me, claiming it was an early H.W. klein made for bramin. Yet it is unsigned so it is only an educated guess as will be discussed with any serious buyer. Any additional info would be helpful.

Nice table, with nice details, for not a bad asking price.
Your listing description is another story . . .

I appreciate all of the help and info everyone has passed along. If you have any criticism, even better. Just make it constructive criticism so I can improve. I am just beginning into areas of design and furniture. Thanks
Derrick
