The tag on the desk is interesting. I was given this one some years ago by a co-worker who said it came from a locker in the Philadelphia Packard Distributorship. Now I'm wondering if what I was told is wrong or did someone create an inauthentic piece of antique furniture to increase the value of the desk.
I can't say for certain but I can see it being off a locker. Every company I have ever worked for attaches a similar tag to assets for two main reasons - deters theft and for asset tracking for accounting. These tags help identify assets during inventory cycle counts and audits. Most companies use a prefix to denote a certain asset class. Packard may have used "Z" for "Office Furniture", which a locker would probably be listed. Office furniture has its own depreciation schedule for tax purposes, why this is done. Also note, these tags are usually nothing special in terms of showing provenance of origin.. these get changed in format all the time by companies.. probably both real.
