    Found this in my grandparents basement, said they got it at a yard sale years ago. Looked all over and couldn't find any brand name or anything on it. Appears there used to be a sticker on the back rest but it's been torn off years ago. Does anyone know the origin of this desk or the year it may have been from? Also curious about it's potential value. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
