      Looks to be mid 20th century. A photo of the drawer sides and back should confirm.

      It appears to be solid wood and should have many years of life left in it. Are you planning on refinishing it?

      Scott, I think it is earlier.

      I have this exact same desk that I purchased about 3 months ago at a DAV thrift store for $85 bucks! I absolutely love it and I used that liquid gold on it and it turned out better than I could imagine! Im sure your enjoy it!

      Sazzy, is this liquid gold easy to find or have to order? Know what's in it to give the gold colour?
