Byron Typewriter Desk Co.
« on: April 19, 2009, 04:55:18 pm »
I have an antique desk that I cannot find information on.  It has a small plate with Byron Typewriter Cabinet Co.  That company was in business in Louisville, KY.  It has a lift up top to reveal filing slots and a drop down document holder.  Drop down front, 2 drawers on left and 1 drop down filing drawer.  Ihave pictures. Wondering if anyone has info on this desk.  Tx.

Interesting piece.  A picture of the entire desk with nothing on or in the desk would have been nice to get a clearer picture of what's all involved.  Do you know what kind of wood it's made from?  Are the drawers dove-tailed?  It, to me, would have been made for a commercial use which usually means it's made very well for lots of potential employee abuse.  Can you provide a picture of the entire desk closed up.  That would provide us with an idea of the potential of the piece being wanted for a piece of furniture as well as a desk.
