Long Description
This is a beautiful rolltop desk for a postman.
It has several small "stamp" drawers and the rolltop is functional. There is a central pad that pulls out which was for a "sponge" apparently, in addition, there are pull out flats of wood for convenience on either side of the desk. There is a flat centre drawer and 3 slim drawers on the left and 1 large (for files) drawer and then a slim one on the right.
There are no keys for the rolltop any longer. The desk comes apart (top off of bottom) for moving purposes. It is in excellent condition and we are looking to sell it in the Vancouver, BC Canada or the Washington State area. Transport is possible.
Pictures to come.
History
This desk was given to my Step Great Grandfather and then passed down through the family. I now own it.
