Hello,

I
have inherited a fine looking Roll Top Desk.
After further inspection I find that there is allot going on with
this desk. So I had a local business man who knows some things about
this type of antique stuff tell me this: " You have a
Quarter-sawn Oak Roll Top Accountant's Desk
in extremly fine condition". He goes on to say " I have
never seen one like this ever". He went further and told me more
spec's about the desk.

#1.
It measures 55" long x 50 1/2" tall x 36" deep. All
solid oak.

#2.
It has a center hide-a-way typewriter compartment with a Remington
typewriter fastened in. It look's very antique.

#3.
It has the double locking system.

#4.
There are 34 compartments in the top section.

#5.
There are 8 drawers + 2 pull-out shelves. Bottom drawers are
dove-tailed.

#6.
There are 8 open letter slot compartments in the middle.

He
goes on to say that "This desk is an Exceptional Desk in
top-notch original shape, I can't even begin to know how valuable
this desk is". It has some numbers stamped in the

roll
top part that are: 322 12

I
sure would like to know more about it, when it was made, by whom,
it's worth, and what avenues I can pursue to get more info about this
desk. Please start me down the right road. My direct email is:

THIS BELONGED TO MY GRANDMOTHER AND WAS PASSED DOWNED TO ME WHEN SHE DIED. THERE ARE OLD FAMILY PICTURES FROM THE 50'S OR 60'S WITH THIS HUTCH IN THE BACKROUND SO I KNOW THAT IT IS PRETTY OLD. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS WORTH ANYTHING.

These are two vases with characters on the bottom that may or may not be signatures.  They vases appear old, but I have no antique knowledge whatsoever, so I am unsure.  One is in great condition and one has obviously been broken and professionally repaired.

On the green ink side of the bill is a lot of Russian lettering and the bill has 1000 in the corners and on the left and right. There is a lot of Russian writing on it, and in the center, under the writing is a swastika. The date at the center bottom of the bill it has 1917, and the Serial # starts with a  Russian letter that looks like a capital F (without the bottom flag of the F) and the rest of the Serial number is: O 180668. The Serial number is printed on the upper right and lower left corners of the bill on the green side.The scroll-work/artwork under the writing is very ornate.

The obverse has three colors: red, green & blue. There is 1000 printed on either side of the center artwork - the center artwork is a picture of a building that looks a little like the White House with the sun over it and lots of rays streaming from the sun. There is a lawn just under the building and then there is a leafy half-wreath with a scroll with two words in Russian, one on top of the other. the top word looks like it's spelled: ROCYAAPCTBHHAR (The R at the end is backwards). The word underneath this is spelled: AYMA. Above and below the 1000s is printed with another Russian word that looks like it's spelled: PYbJIEN - the JI looks like it's actually one letter and it looks like a fancy A. The second letter looks like a lowercase b mixed together with an upper case E. There's lots of multi-colored scroll-work and a border in blue that looks like Victorian wood work like the kind you'd see framing a door, or crown molding. It looks like a sylized, four-petaled floral pattern throughout the border, and the corners of this border have individual squares with a four-petaled stylized floral pattern. I'm very interested to find out the history of this bill  (for instance, why the swastika on Russian money???) and to find out what it might be worth. (Yes, I'm willing to sell it.) I'm not a professional photographer, so some of the pictures have shadows.
