History My Father acquired it in Ventura, Ca in the mid 1960's. It was from someone he had helped, it was dirty, stained, forgotten in the back of some businesses storage area. He disassembled it and stripped then refinished it and used it as his daily work desk. He was a Field Agent for the State Board of Equalization.
