Almost complete setting for 8. The only thing missing is a saucer. I also have the salt/pepper shaker a serving dish and a gravy server and dish. Excellent condition, no chips or cracks.
My father purchased this desk and used it as his executive office desk for years. After his death, I have stored and cared for the desk, and am wondering if anyone knows about it's history or value. The desk is solid wood (oak) and stamped inside the drawer as a "Jackson Desk: Built like a stone wall." It was made by the Jasper furniture company. The desk has 6 regular sized drawers, one file size drawer and one wide drawer in the middle. There are also two pullout writing surfaces, one on each side. Each of the four legs has it's own leveling foot.
This is a full pedistal roll top desk with three keys and working locks. The original finish was a type of oak but has been refinished in a dark mahogany or black stain and the desk top has a glued on formica top. All the drawers are the original wood with some splits but still intact. There is a small area on the roll top that has peeled away and a broken piece of bottom trim is off but available. I found quite a bit of information about the company online and viewed many of the catalog pages from the University of IA library archives but was unable to find the exact rolltop configuration. The rolltop style looks to be from the 1912 line page 17.
