ramrod Report post Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) i can't say for sure, but it's most likely a veg tan cow. perhaps it was burnished with something like a piece of glass to get it smooth and a bit harder. when that desk was made. they had only veg tan leather - and most likely cow. edit - now that i think about it, horse could have been used also. it's very smooth and has a firm hand to it.
