HERE IS A VERY UNIQUE, FOLDING CAMPAIGN DESK. I WILL TAKE A GUESS AND SAY IT IS FROM AROUND THE TURN OF THE CENTURY - 1900. One will just not have an opportunity very often to own one of these. There is currently not another listed on for all of North America. (I BELIEVE IT IS QUITE RARE, SEEING ONLY ONE OTHER LIKE IT ON (for $1200) in the \"completed sale\" section). IT IS IN REAL NICE CONDITION. IT HAS FANTASTIC, FLOWING LINES ON ITS LEGS. THE CENTER CROSS-DOWEL IS APTLY MADE WITH A FLUTED OAK SPINDLE, TAPERED ON BOTH ENDS. THERE ARE SOME SLIGHT IMPERFECTIONS IN THE WOOD AND ON THE INTERIOR, BUT VERY MINOR IN MY OPINION. ON THE INSIDE IS WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE LEATHER LINING ON THE BACK PORTION, TWO PAPER CLIPS, AND TWO SLOTS FOR PLACARDS OR PAPER. THE SMALL, OAK INNER BOX IT TO, PRESUMABLY, STORE THE INK AND PENS. THERE IS ONE PIECE OF OAK TRIM MISSING ON THE FRONT PANEL WHICH IS NOT REAL NOTICEABLE, NOR WOULD IT BE DIFFICULT TO REPLACE IF ONE THOUGHT IT NECESSARY. THIS DOES NOT HAVE A KEY WITH IT, ALTHOUGH THE PUSH-BUTTON LOCKING MECHANISM WORKS SLICK. THEN TWO CLIPS SECURE THE DESK IN THE OPEN POSITION.
SIZE: FOLDED UP THE DESK IS 38 1/4\" TALL, 24\" WIDE, 4\" DEEP, WITH THE LEGS BEING 15\" part. WHENOPEN, THE DESK TOP IS 25\" DEEP, ANDTHE LEGS OPEN TO A WIDTH OF 25\" AS WELL.
I will build a box in which to ship this.
