The drawers themselves appear to be dovetailed.  The back side of the entire desk is finished just like the rest of it.  And the top has places on the bottom side of the bottom lip to nail or screw the desk top piece to the 2 bottom parts.  We've never attached it as we've moved a lot and it's easier just to move it in 3 pieces.  I will try to take all of the drawers out and look for a makers mark somewhere inside...

Here's a picture of it....  please disregard all the clutter and mess on the desk.  Hopefully you can see enough of it to get an idea.  Like I said before, there are 3 main pieces, one being the top, and then the 2 side parts with the drawers that the top sits on.  The top of course also has the roll down part that covers everything.

Some years back, some of our friends gave us an antique rolltop desk.  It breaks into 3 main parts, the top and 2 side "towers" with the drawers that the top sits on.  I have look it over looking for the name of who made it, but am coming up empty.  Is there any special place that maybe I'm missing that would help me ID this thing?  Thanks!

@KC, yeah those on the 12th that sold for $30 were one of my packs.  I had seen where a pack sold for $35 on there in the past, so I put a Buy It Now for $30 and they went within a few hours.  Before I sold the other pack (or hold onto it, not sure yet) I thought I better check and see how much they were actually worth. haha  Thanks all for the info!

I bought some stuff at a flea market the other week, and in one of the boxes I found 2 unopened envelopes of Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society phonograph needles.  Can anyone tell me what these may be worth?
