[QUOTE="Michael Yoh, post: 232809, member: 4506"]I know school desks are a dime-a-dozen, but this one I've never seen before, even doing an extensive google search. I've seen ones with similar bases but not the two shelves. I think this was meant for two students. When my family owned a moving company and storage that started in the 1920's, a lot of about 30 of these desks was put in storage and forgotten over the years. I've tried to identify the local schoolhouse they came out of, but have not been able to do so. I've assembled and sold a few over the years an am down to about a half dozen decent ones now. Has anyone even seen a similar desk, or can tell me anything about these? I've sold them cleaned up and refinished ( though leaving all the scribbling and scratches in place) for $200.00 ea. Any thoughts are appreciated. [ATTACH=full]70181[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]70182[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]70183[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]70184[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]70185[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
