    Looking for any information on this desk. Believed to be from 1920's to 1940's (could be earlier). Was in my grandfather's home in Lafayette, IN, was in CA and now in OKC. Wanting to restore (clean up) to use. Interested in history and knowledge in how the locking works on the left drawers, as well as assembly on the right pull out. It has shipped from point to point in one piece. Top comes off, but would be nice to know if the rest comes apart for ease of working. All thoughts are welcome! Thank you.

      Great design with the swing out file door

      It's pretty cool. I wouldn't worry about finding information. There were hundreds of furniture manufacturers and it is almost impossible to find information.

      What an interesting 'pull-out' storage design -- I've never seen anything like that before. COOL!! :-)
