This is what's called a " Spinet Desk", after it's resemblance to Spinet Pianos made during the 1840's. Most desks like this one date from the 1920's onward and sell in the $300.00- $500.00 range.

Could you add a picture of the hinges on the small flap that sits on the very top when the desk is completely open?  I'd be interested to see what those hinges look like.  Thank you.
