I have gotten a desk I believe of hardwood. It is simple, tall legs, desktop with attached, raised shelf, two drawers. In one drawer in a Franklin Shockey Hand Burnished Makers Mark . I wacant find this desk, this mark anywhere. I want very much to ask help identifying this desk. I will attach a picture of the desk and the mark that is inside of one drawer.[attachment]20190719_114039.jpg[/attachment][attachment]20190719_114223.jpg[/attachment][attachment]20190719_114207.jpg[/attachment][attachment]20190719_114207.jpg[/attachment][attachment]20190719_110602.jpg[/attachment][attachment]20190719_114039.jpg[/attachment]
Well I know full well the history of the Shockley Furniture Company only because I studied and studied and researched and looked and actually weeks trying to find anything that will identify this particular desk other than the Maker’s Mark. And I can’t find this Maker’s Mark on any other site any place so is it an imposter? What I am after is proof that it is truly Shockley and is it truly a student desk as there’s a back piece that says 80 – B back piece student desk in handwritten not marker. I’ve researched under that I’m looking for proof and valuation because I want to sell it and I want to sell it very well priced and fair it needs some refinishing but I don’t want to undersell myself either and I like to know exactly what I’m selling is what I say it is. What am I after is I’m personally interested in my selling items. Personally I I love the history and I like to know. I appreciate your comment in your help and I welcome any other comments and I hope for more.
