Description

I dont know a whole lot about these, I do know that its from 1890, Its made by Silent giant and it was used as a train style school desk . They were made up until 1920 and  this particular model has the hole in it for ink i assume. Its All original , not refinishings and no after market parts or paint. There is no rust, however in 2 spots where the wood is jointed together there is a slight bit of seperation . Theres no major damage, mainly scratches and dents from use over time.
