    There are no markings. Wondering how old it is? What year it might have been made. Bought at a garage sale.

      I just bought the same exact desk. Did you figure anything out?

      I wonder who put the skis on? There's also a board across the back that doesn't really fit. Your photos were taken in front of items that make it difficult to make out the shape of the left of that back board.

      I notice a couple of the drawers have been rounded off at the top and bottom corners. Can't tell if this was on purpose or not. The hardware looks quite new. The sides that are on the 'writing' area of the desk are usually curved, and this makes me think this is a homemade piece, from early to mid 20th century.

      (Can't see any dovetail work on the drawers - maybe the photo is taken from a bad angle.)

      I hate when that happens - I spent some time writing a response and find out later that the original post is 2 years old, and the poster never came back.
