VINTAGE/ANTIQUE CHILD'S DESK W/FLIP-TOP & CHAULK BOARD - $49 - (Hastings, NE)
VINTAGE/ANTIQUECHILD'S WOODEN DESK - FLIP-TOP W/CHAULK BOARDI HAVE HAD THIS DESK FOR OVER 60 YEARS.IT WAS OLD WHEN IT WAS GIVEN TO ME.IT HAS SURVIVED MY CHILDHOOD AND MY BOTH OF MY SON'S. THE METAL REPAIR ON THE FLIP-TOP WERE THERE WHEN I GOT IT. I REFINISHED IT IN THE 60'S - WHEN REFINISHING WAS THE POPULAR WAY TO GO.I AM ALSO GUILTY OF PAINTING THE PAINTED SURFACE VIOLET!!THE ORIGINAL SURFACE WAS A DIRTY WHITE/IVORY.THE PENCIL DRAWINGS ON THE TOP WERE DONE BY BOYS IN THE 70'S. IT ORIGINALLY HAS A UGLY BOARD ON THE BACK THAT HELD UP THE FLIP-TOP (I REPLACED IT WITH QUARTER ROUND).PRETTY SURE THAT UGLY BOARD WAS NOT WHAT THE DESK ORIGINALLY CAME WITH. ONE LEG WAS BROKEN ON THE LOWER PART AND HAS BEEN GLUED BACK TOGETHER. THE DESK MEASURES:21 1/4" TALL (AT THE HIGHTEST POINT)19" WIDE AND 14 1/4" DEEPTHE DESK TOP IT 5 1/8" AT THE DEEPEST END AND 4 1/8" ON THE DRAWER END. PLEASE REVIEW THE PICTURES AND SEE FOR YOURSELF THE CONDITION OF THE DESK.IT IS FAR FOR PERFECT, NEEDS SOME TLC AND SOMEONE WITH GOOD REPAIR SKILLS.IT IS BEING SOLD "AS IS".CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. THANKS FOR LOOKING!!
