Hierdie halfmaan tafeltjie met uitgekerfde leeupote van stinkhout, waarvan die blad van mahoniehout gemaak is, was deel van die troumeubels van a2.b7.c8. Olivier Johannes Gerhardus Cornelis Henning, gebore 1 Desember 1834. Hy en sy vrou Cornelia Susanna Kotzé * 1-8-1839 is op 14 Januarie 1856 te Burgersdorp getroud, omdat dit die naaste kerk in daardie dae aan Damfontein was. Die tafeltjie het in die ou Damfontein opstal gestaan totdat sy skoondogter Magdalena Maria Daisy Henning (noemnaam Daisy) gedurende die 1950’s by haar dogter, Gladys Truter (a2.b7.c8.d8.e6.) in die dorp Aliwal-Noord gaan woon het. Gladys en haar seun Theo Truter het die tafeltjie daarna opeenvolgend geërf, waarna a2.b7.c8.d8.e3.f4. Olivier Henning, Bondsekretaris van die Henning Familiebond dit gedurende die 1990’s by Theo gekoop het.
