    It's a really old-fashioned Georgian style hand made desk.

    I'll give you $5 for it if you do free shipping.

    Blooey is teasing! Does that drawer really say "secure fever?"

    Helps if you have the key.

    ...lol I think Blooey is a teaser. It reads Secure LEVER! This is a Partners desk IMHO the dovetails but it in Georgian period, I agree. But the ones I've seen go for 4K and up! This looks to me as it was made in England.

    Common but still attractive and functional. Dave's price is probably the best you'll see.

    It is a 6 foot desk, not the common 43" student kneehole. This is considered a Lawyer desk, partner desk, in the USA it is a different category. PLUS the age adds to the value and condition.

    That is in the USA.
    This one is in the UK and made in the UK and commonly called a kneehole, it is not very old, Georgian style.
