Description
Classic Civil War Field Desk Adopted for Use by a Michigan GAR Post as a Podium. 19½" X 25" X 15" deep, constructed of pine with poplar interior, of the form most commonly encountered for use by Civil War officers and NCOs in the field. Front pulls down to form a writing surface with the interior separate into numerous decoratively cut compartments, shelves, cubby holes. Rough sawn back. Perfect condition retaining most of the original varnished finish, totally untouched. "G. A. R. No. 254" neatly hand painted on the front of the lid in white letters with red border, with nice untouched age patina. The letters are painted perpendicular to the configuration in which the desk would have been used. A basic piece of Civil War field equipment with the added interest of post war GAR use.Auction Info
