Lexington Desk

By Jakebrake, 9 January, 2014
Description

My father recently purchased a house and in the back garage I came across a large, very heavy desk.  After looking it over a few times, one of the drawers has "Lexington" carved into the inside of it.  The desk appears to be made of cherry wood.  It also has a heavy sheet of glass to cover the top that fits perfectly.  Unfortunately, the desk isn't in the best of shape, but there is no severe damage (cracked or split wood).  The damage is mainly small scratches and stains which i believe could possibly be fixed. 

  I have tried scouring the internet to find out more about it, but have been unsuccessful.  I would just like to know as much about it as i can.  Please let me know if anybody knows anything about this desk.. Thanks!
