    We moved into a house and the previous owner left this desk. It's about 30 inches in depth, too large to move out of any door.
    I've tried to look up the company or info on line but I'm not having any luck.
    I can't find another desk that looks like this one either.
    Would it have been used for newspaper or just a home office?

      It is a secretary typewriter table desk from the 1940's to 1950's and should be lots of them around. They were used in office building and the gov't job I had did have many of them around. Most were changed over in the 1980's.

      If you are in a big city there are references in libraries:
