[QUOTE="BrokerKate, post: 285591, member: 4853"]I found this piece at Goodwill for $35. I couldn't find much info on this desk but I knew it was old. I think it is from 1928-1930 based on what I saw from the history of Jac Lessman himself: [INDENT]"In December 1928, Lessman opened his own interior design firm, Jac Lessman & Co. (changed in 1930 to Lessman Interiors)" [/INDENT] What style is it though? And is it 1928-30? What is the value in "ok" condition? Anyone have any more links for me I could only find one with any amount of information. [INDENT][URL]http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/archival/collections/ldpd_6882189/[/URL][/INDENT] It has screws and the number 7168 on the back. It also has dovetail joints. Can anyone shed some light on this piece? It also said he had pieces made specifically for casinos/hotels he was an interior designer for so maybe this desk was once used in a hotel? Thank you![ATTACH=full]91858[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]91859[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
