[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 221812, member: 360"]What you got here is like a campaign desk sorta dealie, or what I think some people call paymasters' desks. Basically a small, compact, portable desk with loads of compartments for important documents. I have seen LOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAADS of those glass square-cut inkwells. I'd say that this is more towards the early 20th century than the 1800s. Something like this would've been transported in a car or truck or cart or whatever, then when you reached your destination - you set this thing up and it sat there - it never moved anywhere. Does this thing have any carry-handles on the sides? As far as writing boxes or writing cases go, this is more like a portable army desk than an actual writing case.[/QUOTE]
