Hi Guys, I picked these up recently and I do not have any experience with Knoll or Burke tulip tables. Are there any identifying production markers that would indicate one way or the other? I appreciate everyone's help once again. Thank you in advance!

Hi there.
Knoll tulip table bases are manufactured out of aluminum. The above photo indicate rusty steel. I like your Gainey planters, though.
Best,
Aunt Mark

Thank you Aunt Mark! I like my Gainey's too(; What is your opinion on this aluminum tulip base I have? Could it be Knoll?

None of those are Knoll. Are the first set Bose tulip stands for the 901?
Edit: Just did a search. They look too tall to be 901 stands.

They are 18 1/2" tall. Not a bad idea for putting them to use though. Thank you!

Authentic Saarinen tulip tables never have screw holes---a quick and easy way to determine the difference. That's not to say that all knock-offs have screw holes, though. But if you see screw holes, you know it's a knock-off.
