nice...
Better pictures and more information would be great, too.
You can post four pictures. Use them all. Look for marks. Give as much information as you can.
It has a mark on the back. But it is covered by a tag from h. Franke furniture in cincinati oh. But can't find much about them
Nice! According to this site http://www.diggingcincinnati.com/2014/06/before-davis-furniture-1119-1123-main.html H. Franke was managing a furniture store at 457 Main St in 1890. This site, http://grplpedia.grpl.org/wiki/images/d/d4/Weekly_Artisan1910-02-19.pdf gives the name Henry Franke as manager for another store in 1910, at least that gives you some indication as to its age. Good luck!
Here is his obituary from March, 1917: https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/35047954/
So my guess for your secretary desk is around 1910
Any idea of the value?
No, not really the site for appraisals...
