This is a Jasper Office Furniture Co desk made in 1947. It has 8 drawers and 2 pull out writing surfaces. When shut the center drawer locks the side drawers (I don't have the key to the lock however). The desk has been refinished along the way with stain and tung oil. The primary wood surfaces appear to be solid hardwood, probably cherry or mahogany. It used to have a glass top on it but that broke a couple of years ago and I haven't replaced it - I don't know if it was original glass or not. It's got the usual dings and dents from use over the past 72 years, but is in generally good and serviceable condition.
