Hi there! My wife just bought this desk for $125 from a friend/co-worker. I was hoping that someone would be able to help us date and possibly get an idea of the manufacturer of this beautiful old desk. Questions are VERY welcome.
Here are various pictures of features that I thought would help with it's identification:

Hope that will help in the identification of this piece. We are thrilled with our find and want to know more about it!
