Re: Roll Top Desk

have you found out anything about this roll top, more than what's listed? I have the same exact one sitting, taking up space and I'm not sure what to do with it... trying to find a value or a possible home for it...

Re: Roll Top Desk

Roll tops last peaked in value in the 1990's, values since then have taken a bit of a dive. Most like this tend to date from the first quarter of the 20th century, we'd retail one comparable to this for about $800.00 if it was in good shape and needed no repair or restoration.
