Hi all!
I recently acquired my dads antique rolltop desk. This thing is enormous!
I am going to try to attach three pictures.
I am having a hard time here in Central IL to get someone who can give me any information on this desk ie: maker, date, value/worth, how to fix it etc.
I absolutely have nothing to go on except my father picked it up 31 yrs ago in New Orleans from his Aunt, My great Aunt. He has passed on and I asked my mother who said that it was "someones, someones, great grandfathers who used it during Prohibition", Now whether that is true or not I dont know!
I do know however that at the same time the acquired the desk, the acquired a Gilbert black mantle clock w/the date of 1907 (Not necessarily the yr it was made).
Any help or direction on where to go next?
OK I tried to post pictures but it wont let me bummer! If you can help me, maybe you can email me? or post a msg here and I can respond? I will be taking the computer to the repair shop Monday so if its after that It'll be a few days before I can respond to you.
Mrs. Stevens
