G.R. Seating Company School Desk

By MrMarkP37, 3 October, 2008
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.
