Roll top desk

Your oak roll top desk could bring $275-300 at auction. More if you have any provenance that it was used by the Southern Pacific Railroad. Railroad collectors demand records.

Roll top desks went through…

Roll top desks went through a huge increase in value during the 1980s to early 1990s. Since then values have decreased substantially. As Silent Gal has stated quite often they sell for $400 at auction. A lot depends on their condition in the local market demand.
