[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 2355270, member: 5170"]The inscription's penmanship style is quite a bit later than any I would associate with late Victorian handwriting. I would guess that it has to do with a previous auction, not the original owner. I think the desk is earlier than it looks, but the photos make it look so immaculately restored that it appears new(ish), like a 1940s kneehole. In any case, it's a beauty.[/QUOTE]
