Just seen this thread. That is very unusual. I have never seen one before. I would agree to it being a document drawer too. Thanks for sharing the pics with us.

It looks like it a DIY afterthought? What do you reckon Alex?

My guess without seeing the rest of it would be , a place to rest the fall front for a different writing or reading angle, lower than horizontal, if the bureau has lopers to rest the fall on and they are pushed in will it work in that way?

I'd bet a whole dollar it's part of a portable, or non-portable, desk, and used for storing paper. Thomas Jefferson invented one a little like this, but without the hinged bottom for the drawer. (Lucky guess): Google [jefferson writing desk] provides some significant hits, including other eras and Merrie Olde.

Hmm.. Are you sure its old?
Looking at a Google Images search of "Jefferson writing desk", I came across lots of writing desks with keyboard draws which look just like yours...?

I rather think that it would be ideal for a phone directory.
