Some obvious notes taken from Florence Knoll and others here (those oft copied trademark drawers for starters); it may have the stink of 'ripoff' to some, but all its appropriated features add up to a pretty nice design.
Anyone recognize this desk, and know its story?
How about that partial logo, look familiar? Can anyone lend a hand to decipher it?
Thanks everyone!

Toledo
The partial logo looks close enough to Toledo. That would make sense for an industrial desk.

Udell Works?
I don't get Toledo out of that label. One thing I can possibly twist it into is Udell Works. They were a furnature maker out of Indianapolis, IN, that I believe went out of business in the '50s. But the steel frame is not something I'd associate with them based on what I've seen online. If they did it then it was some last ditch effort to stay in business. (doubtful)
