Sprague & Carleton King's Arrow Desk

By willertel, 16 January, 2013
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.
