Desk from neighbor

So my neighbor was throwing away a desk he started to work on(sanded).

I took it cause I will finish it and use it. But, I’m curious as I’m not sure if the age?

- No makers mark
- Would have had a mirror
- Dovetails “seem” irregular
- Solid wood
- Nail/screw construction
- Metal drawer stops

Any ideas?

 

Wondering why you think it would have had a mirror? A vanity would have had a mirror but those generally have lower surfaces than desks. Your item appears to be a desk, not a vanity. A desk may have had an upper storage/shelf unit.
You will need to provide photos of the things you mention...dovetails, nails/screws, drawer slides.

 

I tried to add more, keeps telling me photos are to large. I can add a few individually

 

Welcome!

It's not because all of the images in total are too large, but rather EACH image has to be under 1mb. For help, See here->

 

Photos:

- screws/nails
- metal lock (assume) for mirror
-dovetails

just curious of age…80’s, 70’s, etc.

 

I've had same on a desk to stabilize the upper shelf unit.

 

Looks like 50s or so. Could have had a mirror. My sister had a very similar one from then. Kind of a dual purpose desk and vanity.
