Summary
A wooden school desk with a hinged lid. The desk is rectangular in shape with four legs. An ink well hole is in the top right corner, with one groove to rest pens and pencils behind it. The desk is covered with scratched graffiti, which seems to include a date '1961' on the lid. On the left-hand end of the desk is a circular coloured sticker with an orange and black border. Printed in yellow on the black is 'Speedy Duck'. In the centre is an illustration of a Disney type cartoon duck with an orange beak, hands, legs and feet.
