<p>[QUOTE="Lark, post: 3798233, member: 13605"]My name is Larkin and I have collected Larkin products for 50 years. John D.Larkin is the founder of the Larkin soap company out of Buffalo N.Y. in 1875-1940.( they also are connected to Buffalo pottery)So you know it falls into that range. The premiums I believe did not come out until they started the mail order groceries. Look up J. D. Larkin in Wikipediae and I think your desk was offered as a premium in 1890. I have a kitchen cabinet and a trunk with the Larkin label. Those are the only furniture items I have. Larkin Street on Fisherman's Warf in San Francisco is named after him.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
