Hello Todd,
Welcome to the Arts and Crafts Society and we hope you drop back often.
Now for the table, I like the style with the nice crisp lines and sturdy construction but, I can't help you in regard of finding a maker.

Other than the number do you see any other markings?

Respectfully,

Ralph

Sorry I can't identify it either. It is not from any well known arts & crafts maker. Its design is fairly modern in a sense. Almost verging on forms of Frank Lloyd Wright. But is isn't one of his designs or pieces. What I see are some construction inconsistencies, most are the laminated pieces of wood to create a thicker block or leg. While many A&C companies did this, the faces would be veneered to hide the layering look. The piece could also have been shop made. During this era, Popular Mechanics and others produced drawings for A&C designs. Many home woodworkers made their own pieces.
