Steel Roll Top Desk

By ruglady1, 15 November, 2013
Description

An all steel roll top desk in excellent working condition with:

Brass drawer handles, feet, front edges of the top and side pull outs and other hardware

60"w x 34"d x 42"h.

Adjustable drawer dividers with a pencil tray in the center drawer

Rubber or linoleum writing surface

Drawers and compartments in upper section above writing surface

Drawers lock when roll top is down and top can be locked

Original yale lock and key

 

The original finish was woodgrain.  This desk is extremely heavy.  Lifting off the just the top cap piece 12" x 60" is a two-man job.  I believe it was made by the ArtMetal Construction Co. in Jamestown, NY, in the early 1900's.  When I bought it, I was told that it came from the Great Northern Railroad offices.
