[Collins] A-Line Period Question

[Garey Barrell]

Corey -

That's a Steelcase desk, used by the thousands (millions?) in government offices all over 
everywhere.  On mine, the bottom two drawers on either side are a file drawer.  I have one that 
I used for a station desk for years, it's in storage in GA. The 'linoealium' top was chewed up 
when I got it, and I removed the trim and put in a piece of Formica in it's place.

I have another one that says 'Steelmaster' (gee what a coincidence!) on the front, and it's 
drawer handles are an 'overhang' type rather than the plain handle on the Steelcase.

They ARE heavy.  I would start by checking used office furniture companies, especially if you 
have one near a government facility!

'steelcase vintage' in Google will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about the 'Tanker'.
