Description

This desk came to my father through a friend. It is at least 50 years old and has a thick slate insert where there is open space on the top of the desk. The desk needs some glue and support for the center because it now sags when the slate is laid on the top. the slate measures 30" x 35 1/2" by approx 3/4" thick and is dark in color with a few light scratches.

The desk has a distinctive design and i'm wondering if it 's worth anything?

thank you.
