Description

My dad purchased this desk in December 1965. It's distressed pine is well worn and I am considering having it refinished. I am curious about its value and important tips on how to properly refinish. I have a King's Arrow Collection tag that came with the desk and an inspection notice with a stamp from the inspector at the company as well as receipt from Andersons in Chicago. Any insight would be appreciated.
