This Governor Winthrop style mahogany drop front desk made by Maddox Table Company in Jamestown, NY was purchased by my grandparents at Polsky's Department Store in Akron, Ohio; it still has the store tags on the back. The date of that purchase remains a mystery, but most likely it was in the late 40s - early 50s. There are no alterations, but it does show some signs of age. However, it's essentially in very good condition. It includes a fold down desk top that reveals inner drawers and pigeon holes. The center door framed by columns is called the "prospect door." Legends say a secret compartment hides behind those doors, but we cannot find one. One drawer is stuck shut. (maybe that's the one that holds the secret treasure). There are four large curved pull out drawers below. The glass cabinet above has three shelves. The piece is in two sections: the top section measures 36x40x9, the bottom section measures 36x42x20 (at the widest section).This is a big piece in two sections, so it will require some muscle to move and a van or pick up for transport.Category C pickup time slot.
