The Rand & Leopold Desk Company was an office furniture manufacturing firm which operated out of Burlington, Iowa for 102 years before closing in 1990. This digital collection includes high-resolution images of catalogs and price lists starting in 1888 as well as company information such as sales codes, inspection rules, shop standards, and union contracts.
Special Collections staff have no expertise whatsoever in estimating the possible fair market value of desks or other furniture; we're simply unable to offer any opinion and/or provide any more information about value than what can be discerned from the catalogs. We suggest that you consult an antiques dealer or the manager of an antiques and collectibles mall. The Roth Antique Store in Burlington, Iowa has a web page devoted to Leopold desks which provides additional information about the company and its history. It you click on the "home" link at the bottom of that page, then on "Order Information", you will find an email address and telephone numbers for the company.
