Anyone know antiques?

[ONE-A-DAY]

Picked up this desk at a estate sale on the cheap. There is no name or any identifying marks on it. I'm really curious how old it is and where it originated from.

Any ideas on where to research it would be great.

The wife says maybe 50s, probably 60s. No idea of origination.

I'm not an expert, but I do watch the Antiques Roadshow and can tell you it's a piece of furniture.

Brilliant, thank you.

Need to see a pic of the dove tail joints that hold drawer fronts to the sides to get ruff idea

Those are hand cut, large dovetails, used late 1800's to very early 1900's.

No problem, I say rough estimate because some machine cut dovetails started very late 18's and some people used hand cut in to the 1900's but thats a ruff guide, big dovetails 1800's, smaller hand cuts and machine cuts early 1900's.
