    Hello everyone!!
    Another of the many antique lap desks I own. This one is still in nice condition for its age, after a good cleaning and polishing. This one still has a pen, assorted pen tips and a jar of ink. This one is also from the 1800's and is a smaller lap desk than the one I previously posted. I'm in doubt that the leather writing surface is original to this desk, but, then again, I'm no expert in this area. This one measures 13" long, 8 3/4" wide and 5" deep.

    Thanks very much for stopping in for a look!!!

    Scott
