I think it's wishful thinking
The description makes it sound as if the seller really believes it could be valuable. I know a lot of dealers. Many of them specialize in a particular area of antiques or collectibles, but they will branch out if they think they can make some money. I've heard them BS about all kinds of things that they know nothing of. This description sounds just like that. The seller probably heard of some Eames-era (heh) item that sold for many thousands more than the owner expected and she's hoping her dolphin/corporate logo/Montgomery Ward hairpin leg table is a sleeper, too.
She may have priced it that high to call more attention to it. I think she's hoping that someone will tell her what it really is and what it's worth and then she might drop the price to the true value. That is, if the true value is still thousands. I think she's gonna be really disappointed when she finds out it's $50, which is about what those legs sell for on Ebay. Or used to, anyway.
I've seen these
There was a shop in the Bucktown neighborhood in Atlanta in the late '80s and early '90s that sold these tables. They were offered in different colors and configurations (single chevron, double, boomerang... etc.). They were very well crafted (I assumed by a local artisan) and I think they sold for around $300-400.
Gee, if they are now worth 125K, maybe I should have bought one.
Or maybe not.
