Well probably not the same desk he is sitting at, but at least one that has the same lines, and still has the original formica desktop over wood. I got it for $2.00, and drove it home in the back seat of my 1962 Mercury Comet, which I still drive around Pasadena. I have that desk.

Not that I remember him wearing them then because I was born in 1958, but they were in the bottom back of my closet growing up. Also, look at the great venetian blinds behind the sheers!
