Your photos are pretty poor quality to tell much from: too dark, lots of shadows and slightly out of focus. I have lightened one but it is still quite blurry.

Furniture experts will need better pictures to help you.

 

Agree with INH.
Typewriter desk.
1940ish. Give or take a decade.

 

Hard to see. Looks like oak wood.

 

teacher's desk missing the lamps.

 

the four round marks inside could be from the rubber feet of an old overhead projector.

 

Definitely a typewriter desk. Made for a lot of years but the relatively low profile of the space for the typewriter does suggest a 40s date. Wood looks like walnut or, just as likely, birch with a walnut stain.

 

Thanks @verybrad
