No. 21: OLD SCHOOL

I just picked up this very old schoolhouse desk at auction. It’s a primitive double-seater from the 1800s. This is a great piece but I feel for the kids that after milking the cows, feeding the chickens, and bringing in the firewood then walking 5 miles to school — in the snow! — would have to sit at this thing all day. Good to see a few of the old-time kids had some “rebel” in them.

  2. I'm not exactly sure, Robert. Don't think it's a cow. It's definitely not a moose, elk or any of their ilk. Not a cougar or big cat. Don't think it's a bear. Maybe an ox? I'm open to thoughts...
