<p>[QUOTE="Judy1, post: 424555, member: 8669"][ATTACH=full]148421[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]148423[/ATTACH] I bought this desk for 75.00 dollars at an antique store. It was falling apart, needed refinishing and there was a large chunk out of the veneer where you write. I refinished it, replaced the mahogany veneer on the desktop and reglued it. There were no screws or nails in just wood pegs and the old glue. On the strike plate for the lock, I found a patent date of 1884. I would love to know the style and rough date that it could have been made. I did have to replace the key hole estoushion (sp)as it was missing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
