ANTIQUE FURNITURE RESTORATION DISCUSSION BOARD

I have an unusual piece made by the Saginaw Furniture Shops, Inc. Probably from the 30's or 40's? It looks like a large buffet/sideboard. When what looks like a drawer is pulled out, a telescoping mechanism is extended. When completely extended, 6 ~18" leafs fit on it to form a long dining table. The leaves are stored in a side compartment with an inconspicuous door. There are 2 side storage cabinets, and one larger middle cabinet. Above the fake drawer, there is a matching real drawer, akin to a pencil drawer on a desk. Above the 2 small side cabinets are smaller drawers, one lined with felt, I assume for silverware. The back is plywood. I think most of the front is mahogany. It weighs a ton, due to the extending mechanism. Does anyone know what this is called? Any info on Saginaw Furniture Shops? Thanks
