Antique Writing Desk

Description

This is my great-great-grandmother's writing desk, which was likely purchased in Ohio in the early 1900's or late 1800's. My mother painted the desk green in the 1980's. No identifying marks of manufacturing that I can find. I have the original key, but pictures show a replacement key.

Anyone know if the desk holds any value?

Happy to upload more pictures if wanted.
