Roll top desk by Standard Furniture Co.

By ddoherty, 1 November, 2007
Description

The way I found this site was by searching for the missing lock on the roll top. I can't find one. The arms are there, just missing the lock. Every one asks what make it is, thats where you come in. I found a sticker inside the middle drawer thas says Standard Furniture Co. The lock on the drawer says Eagle Lock Co. Terryville Conn.USA  6U 12.  The drawer handles are metal instead of wood. What do I have?

Without an image we can't

Without an image we can't tell you much. Roll tops were made from the late 19th century through the 1930's. Hundreds of thousands of them were made, as virtually every office at one point was full of them. Values depend entirely on condition, size and how ornate they are. If yours is in excellent condition, then you got a very good buy at $500.00, as that's about dealer wholesale.
