Marquetry table by Big Rapids New York

I just purchased an unusual table at a moving sale.  It had inlaid woodwork on the top, and carved legs.  Most unusual, at least in my own experience, is that this is actually two identical tables, that sit together to make a fairly circular table.

The emblem that appears to be branded to the underside of the table says "Exclusive Design by Big Rapids New York".  The letters are within a painter's pallette.  Beside that brand is the number 1892.  While I don't believe the pieces are that old, the joints are all well done, clearly old.

Can anyone tell me anything about the manufacturer and overall quality?  I can't find anything except individual pieces of furniture online, so nothing really about the company.  If I see it again, I'd like to know a bit more.  The price was minimal for the tables, but I don't want to "taken" on a bigger item.

Thanks!
