I hope someone out there can help. I have seen plenty of suggestions to remove watermarks from wood tabletops, but none for leather tabletops. I have an old drum table from the 30's-40's which has a leather insert on the center, which is quite large. There is what appears to be a very old(?) watermark offcenter in the leather, otherwise the table is in excellent condition. I would eventually like to refinish the table, but right now I am concerned about the spot. Please help! Any suggestions on how to remove it (short of removing the leather inlay) would be appreciated.

You didn't mention what color the watermark was, which is important in knowing how to deal with it.
Regardless, if it is a true antique, you should have it looked at by a professional restorer. A local antique store( with a good reputation) could probably tell you who to contact.
