Desk
« on: June 13, 2018, 11:53:32 am »
I have a 2 drawer drop down desk. The knobs are square and wooden. I have had it for 50 years and family had it for 50 yrs at least. I live one hour from Syracuse where stickleybrotjers first started. I don't know what I have and need help

Hi Holly!  Welcome to the forum.

Can you please post a few more pictures: 
1) Picture of desk/dropfront open.  2) Picture of the SIDE of an open drawer to see the way the front of the door is attached to the side.

Need to know the condition of the piece - wear/tear, breaks/splits/stains, etc.

Stickley always used labels. Sometimes they were burnt in, sometimes they were metal, and sometimes they were paper labels. Here is a great link:
