What did the jack bookend cost? I've been trying to buy a couple of those for awhile but they're always $20 a piece or more.

$3 :D
I grabbed the thing so fast when I saw it at an antique mall, I almost wanted to cackle maniacally.
And $20 a piece is well well worth it. It's by Bill Curry and they go for 100+ on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=bill+curry+jax

It helps me not regret relocating from the east coast to the midwest with the stuff that I find.

Things I got: the desk, the westinghouse fan, all the older edition books, the fucking awesome chair.
I got more than this, but these are all things that happen to live on or around the desk now. :)
I need to be a better thrifter...
These are from estate sales. :) Check www.estatesales.net to see some in your area.
Glad to see you finally got your big ass tanker desk! Does the fan work? That chair reminds me of chromecraft in its style but they didn't have backs like that (I think). Overall awesome score!
Not quite a steelcase tanker, but it's heavy as fuck. >:|
I hated it for the first 12 hours we had it because I had to make two 1hr round trips to fit the whole thing. Plus I spent 2 hours taking it apart. Ugh.
But the desk was 40 dollars. You can't beat that. And it's a beasssst.
Yeah the fan works! I won't be leaving it around unsupervised though the sparse cage scares the hell out of me.
I have absolutely no idea what the chair is. I'm thinking it's gotta be mid to late 60s? Possibly early 70s. I couldn't find anything that even looked remotely like it on google image search. Has no markings, although I didn't look very hard.
