Description

This antique desk is approximately 100 years old, made in 1918-1920. The company, Rishel Hon Industries, is still in Williamsport, PA. This school teacher's model appears to be from a limited commission, after WWI, to supply the one-room school houses of the time period. As a teacher and business owner,I have used it for 8 years. I obtained it from a retired teacher in 2009, in Washington State.

The desk is in good condition and wants to go to a person who can refinish it for many more years of function and beauty.
Dimensions: 60" w + 36" d + 31" h.
