Vintage Tanker Desk Lost

I had a desk like these. I got it free, by default. A roommate left it behind. I loved it. Not too big, very sturdy, historic. Mine was army green with a green linoleum covering on the top. It had curbed corners. Only one side with drawers. In the middle was a flat pull out drawer. On the drawer side were two drawers and one flat piece that pulled out. Under it there were not feet, but a narrow base on each side.

It got a little damaged from being moved. My brother threw it way, without asking. I was annoyed, mad really. But, like other things, it was gone.

I didn't know the name for the style of desk until I started looking for one the same. It has been gone for years. I think I didn't want to feel sad and angry about it so I didn't look too much for information about it. As I expected, it isn't cheap. I've found some used and in okay shape for $200 on the low end and over $1000 on the high end.

Here are some photos I found online. A compilation of these will give you an idea of what my tanker desk looked like.

I still miss that desk. I had to buy another desk for my computer. It is not vintage, or built to last as the tanker desk was. But, it is holding up well for a modern computer desk.
