Trying to find a date of manufacture for my antique children's school desk. I've seen a few images on the net that look similar but all have inkwells. This desk only has a pencil indent. It has dovetailing on the sides. I'm guessing 1920ish but not sure any information would help thanks.
It has a painted on label that says:
New Empire Furniture
(Moyer's??) School Supplies Limited
Canada's School (Furnishings??)
Since 1884
Moncton
Toronto
Winnipeg
Saskatoon
Edmunton
It appears they were making good quality globes already by 1912, seen an ad. One thing that bothers me is their name New Empire Furniture, as Empire Furniture looks nothing at all like this desk or style. There were 100's of furniture companies in Ontario alone during the early years of this century. They virtually left few if any real records and what is left are the provincial archives in Toronto and the Library which carries extensive remains. I have a book called "Modern Furniture in Canada 1920 to 1970", and they do not even mention the name New Empire Furniture or Moyers. Maybe it is just to early for the internet to have any info left by anyone on school items manufacturers.
Ok that's really strange lol ty for the input :)
Wondering if " New Empire Furniture" was more of a description? Since "Empire" furniture was popular in Europe in late 1800's. Your best bet might be to research Moyers.
A quick search found this:
Name Moyer School Supplies Limited
Nationality Canadian
Occupation Manufacturer of school supplies and school desks
Notes The Moyer School Supplies Limited company began in 1___.
The company was located at Toronto, Moncton, Montreal, Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Edmonton.
In 1937-1938, they had a catalogue.
Hope that helps
I think this is a great children's furniture, I really like this table. I think it will be convenient for children who come from school to do homework at this table.

This is already a museum piece. It is valuable not only for you but for human culture in general. I believe that over time, even more people will respect their culture, and not treat it as some kind of appendage from the past. My favorite topic for my essays is reflection. By the way, if someone is wondering what to include in an appendix, here is the answer https://essayhub.com/blog/how-to-write-an-appendix-explained-with-ease After all, in order to be heard, we need to be able to present, and an essay is a good way to build a base of arguments.
