<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 237763, member: 37"]This is what is commonly referred to as a "C" roll-top desk since the curve in the roll-top is a simple curve as opposed to the sinuous curve found on many. I think the 1900-1910 date is right but could have been made for a few decades the same way. Have not seen this type of locking mechanism and think it is probably a patent variation. The pull-out boards are called <i>scribe</i> boards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
