Description

Update May 2015:  This post was made six years ago and the desk is no longer available.

Anyone got ideas on where to find a range of current values for a desk like this? Purchased new about 1969. In the family since purchase new in 1969, Jasper Cabinet Model RT684 Americana Roll-Top Desk. $450 O.B.O. as of this moment until we find out more about what it's worth. Very good condition although it's antique, have key to center drawer, but the drawer doesn't close all the way. You can see the light peeking out from beneath the center below the cubbies. This is a heavy desk so it'll take at least two strong men to move it. 55" wide, 46" high, 27" deep. Excellent craftsmanship. $700 was its price when new 40 years ago, and furniture like this was made especially well back then.
