<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 439265, member: 37"]Can't tell you anything specifically about the company but can tell you the basic design is late Victorian. This would put the design circa 1890 and likely produced for decades. By 1930, this design would have begun to have been phased out, though the form persisted. The lack of an inkwell on yours would indicate that the top was probably changed at some point or was a very late production model. Desks like this were used by school systems well beyond their production years. An elementary school I attended in 1965 still had them in regular use.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
