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: [email protected]
Regards...
