Kittinger Receptionist's Desk

Category
American Furniture
Condition
Fair
Description

This is a mahogony Kittinger half circle desk with run-off or typing extension. It has one center drawer, a small extension that drops down on the left (12") and a typing extension (36" long and 26" high) on the right. There are brass wheels on the legs.  Inside the drawer is a brass plate that reads; Kittinger, Furniture Craftsmen since 1866,

Patern T727-2-3TYR-York.

The measurements are approx. 6' x 6', the surface is 17 1/2" wide, a 14 1/2"  skirt . There are scrathes on surface and should be refinshed. The typing extension is attached with a bracket and so can be removed if desired.

I had the desk for 30+ years and have used it. I bought it in Washington D.C. It is a beautiful piece and I always feel special when I use it. I used it in my business and was always a conversation piece.

I know that the White House has used Kittinger Furniture for decades and since I bought it in DC who knows........... Over the years I have googled this piece and have only found one similar but that one did not have a typing extension, so to the best of my knowledge, it is a rare piece.

I recently became disabled and had to move to a small apartment so I am considering selling it.

Thank you for helping me in appraising this.  Donna

Antique Tools

Category
Other
Description

I have a set of tools that i would like to have appraise. I'm not sure if it is a complete set or not. They looked to be made out of cast iron and wood. I honestly don't know much about them. They were given to me when i purchased an old blanket chest. They were a friend of mine grandfathers. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I apologize for the vague description. One tool looks to be a leve. One looks like a planer or shaver. And i think the other is a hammer of some sort.

Silver Carving knife set

Category
Silver and Silver Overlay
Description

I have this older looking set of a carving knife and the matching sharpener. I was wondering upon how much it is worth about about how old it is. On the side of the blade it says "National Silver Company Made in Sheffield England" and on the handle it says "Handle made in England". The blade does state that it is Stainless Steel also. Thanks.

This has been in my storage for 30 years and it was old then.      I can find no markings on it.     It is in very good shape.      Hoping you may be able to identify it in some way.
