Status: offline 		Here is my new work area.  Joe moved everything for me, and set it up.  It's an old desk he found awhile back, in someone's junk pile.  It is cool because there is a spot where the ink well would have been.  Someone filled it in at some point, though  I'm not even sure how old the desk is.

Status: offline 		Penn Digger calls it a University desk? I was fixing his (Tom's) pipes a few years back and had to run home for a hotter torch...As I was heading out of town, I saw this old gent lugging it down his front steps,...He set it right down in the snow! I stopped dead center in the road and asked if he was getting rid of it or moving? He says "Take it" So I did.... Here's some detail of it if anyone knows what it is, or more about it...Please pardon the dust..Thanks,....Joe

Status: offline 		I've also heard folks call it a "student's desk" is that correct? It appears to be oak, with a sloped and hinged top,...Here's the detail of where the ink well was, and it also looks like it had a doweled rail at one time,...Thanks for looking and any info anyone may have...

Status: offline 		Hi this is an interesting thread, because I went to a one room country school house where all the desks had ink wells.  We used the old stick pens to write with.  The school had a pot belly stove in the center, a picture of George Washington on the south wall, two black boards on the west wall, two coat closets. and an entrance foyer.  Two out houses and a wood shed for fire wood.  And a drilled well with an old fashioned lever water pump.
Memories.  I see one of my grade school class mates every week we go to the music in the park at Watkins Glen.  There were from seven to eleven kids in the school and the teacher taught all grades.  When we had a spelling bee, I discovered that if I miss spelled a word I got to set down - so I didn't learn to spell for a long time.  Thanks for spell check on the computer   Such is life.  RED Matthews.

Red,...We still heat with a pot belly stove... (Laur hates it)...But it makes great heat. Your schoolhouse sounds pretty cool, We have a salvaged/restored one roomer at out local historic societys "Crook Farm" I'll see if Lauren has a couple pics in her computer files...It looks just like your's sounds.

I remember getting my fingers slammed in those things in 1st grade. The school I went to was well over a hundred years old at the time.
cool!

I have two old school desks with the ink well holes in them..One is from and like the ones in this pic. the other in a bit newer,probably from the 20s or so...They are for sale...but can you imagine trying to ship them!!

In the 20s when my dad was at school one day[probably similar to the one in the pic],it started snowing really hard one day.The kids were all at the windows looking out at it come down.Years ago a lady that was there that day said my pop told everybody that if it kept snowing like this they would have to climb up into a tree just to take a shi# !!JAMIE

Status: offline 		Once bought an ink that was embossed on bottom "school ink" so inks were specially made to fit the holes.It was the thing for little boys [dad!] to take girls "pig tails" and dip them in ink!My dad was always a trouble maker.Once took a wasp separeated it from its tail ..put the tail on the end of his pen and stuck it to the girl in front of him butt...dad was not counting on the results.She was a large girl he said..screamed at the top of her lungs and jumped straight up taking the front of the desk with her!Dad said he was so shocked he was still sitting there holding the pen with the wasp tail on it...giving no doubt as to what had happened! This was in the 1920s.Pop got a "Whipping" the first day of school for peeing off the front steps of school cause he didn't know where the bathroom was ! Once at a country school where a teacher was dicided to be too abusive in his ways..at recess dad and two [dad said guys that were basically men and were shaving...just were not real smart and back then kids went o school when they could] "KIDS"took a rope, tied it around the teacher's neck and drug him around the school yard a time or two...the teacher quit then and there! AH the good ole school days!JAMIE
