<p>[QUOTE="David Kathan, post: 4288320, member: 22720"]I have a solid wood roll top desk that I inherited from my father-in-law 35 years ago. It is different than most of the roll desk types I have seen -- it has a solid rolling top, not the accordion-style that you see on most (like the Cutler style). The desk surface can be pulled out. The drawers are dove-tailed, but dove-tailing seems to have been hand-done with a chisel, not manufactured. The sides and back have raised panels. The only marking I found was on a lock on one of the drawers -- it says Terry USA. The desk is in ok condition, but the felt on the desk surface needs to be redone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is this a particular style of roll top desk? Is this roll top desk valuable or unique? We would like to sell it and need a sense of its value.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]344894[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
