Fielder Allen Roll Top Dest

By CrisBartlett, 21 January, 2013
Description

My father came home with this desk about 50+ years ago and it was pretty old then. It has a tag on front that says " Fielder Allen Company Atlanta Ga USA" In the middle of the tag is where you insert the skeleton key, which I have, to lock and unlock it. It is in good shape with minor scratches here and there. It does not appear to have ever been refinished. It looks to be made out of cherry wood. There are no other tags or markings on it, that I have found, to identify its age or value.

My father has had this all my life and I'm 46 now. He used to kid that Abraham Lincoln owned this desk. I have no real idea how old it is but if I had to guess I would say 200-250 years old.
