Is this an original eames surfboard table?  

Current version
Does it not have a separate label with manufacture date?

No
Only this label. I was told it came from an estate sale. Oh well. I'll get it relaminated and put it in my living room.

That label
Is from more recent production.

that looks
that looks more like the newer stickers. It's the same sticker thats on the bottom of my wire-based table that I bought a few years ago, as well as a 2006 LCW.
The Eames Office has an LTR from 51 that has a very different sticker on it.

You guys are awesome
Well, for $120 it is still not too bad. Does anyone know how expensive it is to relaminate something like this?

Congrats, 120$ is a good deal!
I think the most expensive part of relaminating would be the labour time, not materials. So it depends whom You'll give it to and what they'll charge for the time. I know a woodworker who would charge me just 15? per hour (Here in Germany), try to find an experienced, down-to-earth local craftsman!

Out of curiousity,
Having never seen that table firsthand myself, is the laminated top the same as Formica?

thanks
claus. When I get my 24x 24" off-white tile installed, the dark top will be a good contrast.
chp - I dont know the difference. Maybe it is formica? It is a dark top on top of layers of wood. It has got to be fixable, as I am sure people fix the originals all the time.

A Formica laminate can typica...
A Formica laminate can typically be identified by looking at the edge of the laminate material, and if it is a dark brown color, that would point toward it being Formica, or a Formica-like material.

Yes
They are a type of formica, and any decent cabinet/carpentry shop should be able to glue a new piece of back formica down.

The easiest way to install ne...
The easiest way to install new Formica laminate is to glue the new sheet on top of the old material. However, if you are after an authentic look, the old material will need to be removed, which is more work, especially if it is determined that the residual contact adhesive also needs to be stripped from the wood. So, picking a competent firm would be important if the old material is to be removed.

Thanks for the replies
Thanks for the info. It is good to hear that this is commonplace. I guess it will depend on the cost as to whether I glue over it. If this was an original, of course cost wouldnt be an issue. This is a big help. I appreciate it!

Why not just leave it as-is?
$120 is not a deal... it's a steal! If the damage is not that bad, I would just live with it and call it "character"/"patina".
I had a 50's laminate Knoll tulip table with some chipping to the edge. I found it at a thrift shop for $25. It was front and center in my living room for 5 years, and no one either noticed or cared about the chips.
Is the damage that bad to warrant all the trouble? In your pic, although I know it's small, the table looks great.

well...
The surface is in relatively good shape, but there is a small smashed-in dent on one end. I know it would bother me. I need to get it fixed. I figure they will have to redo the top in the process. I must say that I love the look of the edges - the laminated birch looks nice!
