This desk came out of the Van Dorn Metal company in Cleveland Oh. I bought it from a worker thats been there for about 30yrs. He said there tearing the factory down for renovations. He claims that it came out of Mr Van Dorns office and its been there since the early 1900s. He also told me that Van Dorn started making metal furniture themselves and this desk was possibly made by the Van Dorn company. Unfurtunately the desk got wet in the moving process  so the clear became milky white which is the discolor you see. It has a mahogany wood finish painted on it.
 My questions are, who is the maker and style, whats the year, and what is something like this worth. I do plan on restoring the desk with a bare metal finish. I have been through every square inch of this desk, up and down and inside out and I cant find any markings, names or numbers of any kind. So i included pics of the hardware and some screws. I would greatly appreciate any help and advice i can get on this piece. Thank you all for your time and I look forward to hearing what you guys have to say.
