The same label apparently is affixed to DAPC_1966-1559, a tambour desk. Here, too, only remnants remain. Examining both labels leads to the opinion that another word or name follows \"Tucker\" but it cannot be determined from these remnants.  Elisha Tucker?ÇÖs appearance in the Boston directories is intermittent. Between 1809 and 1810 he is listed as a ?Ç£cabinetmaker.?Ç¥ From 1813 to 1818 he does not appear at all. In 1820 his name reappears in the listing as a ?Ç£grocer.?Ç¥ In 1823 he is listed again as a ?Ç£cabinetmaker,?Ç¥ and his name continues to appear with this occupational listing until 1827. There is no reference to him after that date. Visual similarities between DAPC_1969-0005 and documented Tucker pieces strengthen the possibility that the desk was made in Tucker?ÇÖs shop or by someone who was trained by Tucker.  Objects like DAPC_1969-0005 have labels indicating \"Tucker & Griffin\" as partnered furnituremakers. There is little evidence that Elisha Tucker and Asa Griffin were ever partners, save for a few surviving labels. Both were engaged in cabinet-making and maintained their own shops, but a survey of the Boston directories from 1809 to 1830 does not yield definitive evidence of a partnership. The Boston Directories also list a Lyman Tucker, Jr., a turner, living and working in Boston around the same time as Elisha Tucker and Griffin, however, there is no evidence to suggest a partnership between Lyman Tucker and Griffin, nor is there evidence for an association between Elisha and Lyman Tucker."},{"label":"Subjects (AAT)","value":["Slant-front desks","Fall-front desks"]},{"label":"Subjects","value":["Desks"]},{"label":"History of Ownership","value":"Previously owned by Mrs. Robert Edwin Peary of Portland Maine, widow of Admiral R.E.
