Description
dont know much about it, my father bought it used years ago and gave it to me, i have had it for about 8 years the pics dont show the top as my computer and paperwork have it cluttered, bought a smaller desk and will soon have everything transferred over if a top pic is needed
Re: oak partners desk
Desks like these were pretty standard issue during the first quarter of the 20th Century. They are loosely based on the Mission style popular at the time and could be found in most offices and Government institutions.
At auction they often sell for under $200.00.

Re: oak partners desk
The problem is there is a great difference between the two desks, the one at live auctioneer is a "Top of the line" Mission style desk, the other one is a generic piece made for general office use like this one http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/1411174 , which could be found in most industrial/business/ school offices until the 1950's.
