At the prices they have listed not sure why anyone would want an A.E. Schmidt table when for about the same price you could have a new Diamond. Am I missing something here?
I remember years ago I had a table that was called a E.A. Burgin table. A guy from Murfreesboro, TN named Skip Burgin made the tables. Haven't heard a word about Burgin tables for nearly 25 years now.

AE Schmidt was founded 1859?
I think they're success back then made Brunswick to St Louis. Why else?
The company today is just a small fraction of where they were, but all the knowledge and all their blueprints are still in their posession. I'm sure if someone wanted a Collosus, they would build one..
I've gone into their nearly original factory on Sidney St. several times. Today's operation is a small fraction of yesteryear, but still family and still a lot of manual hand work.
Table legs are imported for sure.
Rails & Frame are done in house.
Brunswick is made in China with similar prices to you and me.
