Leopold Co Typewriter Desk

By redphyx, 27 May, 2011
Description

This is clearly a Leopold Co typewriter desk, based on my research at the U of Iowa Digital library about Leopold Co.

Has 3 drawers on one side with the bottom drawer a little deeper than the top two. Drawers have partitions and letter holding removable partitions. The center lifts and folds over to accomodate a typewriter. There are holes in this part of the desk, as if there used to be a typewriter attached at one time or the other. Legs have adjustable height attachments.

The top of the desk seems weather beaten or water damaged, but the desk itself is in good condition otherwise, sturdy and fully functional.

Would like to know if this desk is worth much.
