Description

John Widdicomb desk. I'm trying to see if I can put a value on it (craigslist or facebook pages). from what I'm told, the paper tag in picture 2 tells me it was made somewhere in the 40's or 50's. It does have some damage, though (got it from my brother, who had cats that have scratched it). I do know that will obviously decrease it's value quite a bit.

Also, is something like this worth restoring? This is my first older item that I have ever had to look for a value for.
