    I got this six foot long desk in Minneapolis from an artist who'd had it for thirty years. Originally it was in a bank in a small town outside of Minneapolis. There is still a toggle switch for an alarm underneath the front of the desk. Although desks like this were made by Sears Roebuck and others, this seems to have been made by a local craftsman.
