Question

Been given old school desk non lift top seats 2 with ink well holes and flip down fronts as draws (value????)?

Answer 1

Not much, these are quite common and have little value as they were still in use up to 40 years ago.

They are usually thrown away which is probably why you got it for nothing

Answer 2

if in very good condition then probably a good amount

id go to a pro and ask or do some research online

Answer 3

Believe it or not, there are quite a few a these around.

I've got one and my parents have two of them.

And I have seen quite a few others.

There were still old schools out in the country still using these back in the 50's & 60's.

My father grabbed these three from a small country school he was principal at in Tennessee in the 60's.

Even though they are quite old, they are also quite numerous.

I have a 46 yr old friend that attended a ONE ROOM SCHOOL HOUSE in Indiana until she went to high school.

Unless there is some kind of history attached to that particular desk or school it came from, the value isn't very much presently.

Give it another decade or two, and they will become more rare, with the quantity becoming smaller and smaller.

Answer 4

sorry but there are to many around these days for it to be of much value ,if you have kids then let them use it for homework,value $30-40,
