Description

Antique oak desk made in 1904 I was told by The Davis-Birely Table Company out of Indiana. It is Mission style, with a pull out drawer with lid and ink well  storage shelves on both sides of the desk  

I would like to know an estimated value.

If anyone could help us with a ballpark value, we would greatly appreciate it. It is our 1st antique piece. 

Thank you!

It is as you suggest in the Mission Style, which was popular until about World War One (1914-18). While examples by the big name makers such as Stickley can be quite valuable, what you paid for yours is about the top end of what we'd retail one comparable to yours for.
