Re: wood desk

Looks like a product of the 50's-60's. The width looks 42 inches (N42)

Re: wood desk

It's a 1950's version of Colonial Revival style made by a number of American and Canadian companies , Vilas being one of the better known makers. Such pieces were generally part of a whole suite, which get broken up in estate sales. Some people collect this stuff, trying to get the whole suite, so values can sometimes be suprising. I've seen similar pieces sell from $50.00- $350.00 at auction.
