I think that was ghopper that gave that lead !! I had it copied but due to dial up and its lack of speed,, he beat me back here !!
Did you say you had the upper shelves that went behind the door or not ?? Don`t remember what I read !!

I'm pretty sure they are stored around here somewhere!

Let us know what you hear.

This is what she said: "Your desk dates from about 1924 to 1933."

Antique Questions Forum / Letter Opener?

« on: September 23, 2012, 09:22:35 pm »

We also received this sword in a case that appears to be a letter opener. It has no writing or logo to even give me a clue. The case the blade slides into looks like maybe alabaster or some kind of a bony material (sounds weird I know, but the best I could come up with) that maybe someone could help me identify. Any information regarding this sword would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again everyone!

Hello Everyone,

We received a Karpen Secretary desk from my husbands aunt and we are trying to find out the approximate age and value of it. It is in good condition and I hope the photos I'm attaching are good enough. This is my first time in this site and I'm really excited to utilize everyone's input.

Thank you!
Dedie
