<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 171426, member: 37"]I think 40s or a bit earlier. Post-WWII, typewriters were sleeker, wider, and more enclosed. It was not as necessary to store them away from dust and these desks fell out of fashion. The styling on this one is typical to 1910 or so but, as office furniture, would have been made the same for a lot of years. The style of the lock points to a later date than the styling of the desk. If the original hardware were present, it also might have provided a clue to dating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
