    The numbers are a date Sept 24 1976. The desk is model 5124 from the 1975 catalog. French Provincial style. Sligh5124.jpg

    The desk style goes back to the Depression in the early 1930s, when Sligh started making inexpensive 7-drawer desks after making their initial reputation on manufacturing bedroom suites. Sligh has continued to emphasize office furniture to this day.

    Probably about $100-$200 at auction in my part of the U.S. Midwest. Probably more (or less) in other markets.

    French Provincial is not as popular as some other styles like Mid Century Modern or Campaign. At auction I think it would probably sell in the $100-$200 range. You can check Ebay and Chairish for prices on sold items, and Craigslist and Facebook for current listings. Some desks in this style have sold for $200 and some over $1,000 so hard to say. You can always price it high to start and come down gradually until it sells.
