Description

I have two school desks that I found in my great aunt's attic. I believe that she purchased these items in the early 1950's. I have no idea what she paid for them or the circumstances behind the purchase. I do believe that they are from the old Grand Rapids Seating company and the date on them indicates that they were completed on July 16th 1895.
