Ok so the title is a wee bit misleading... There isnt anyone naked or doing it.
We are having a garage sale and getting rid of most of all our old junk or stuff we don't have room for. We have an antique school desk from around the 1940's its made by American Seating Co. Grand Rapids, Michigan . The Patent No. Is 2039973.

I know this is a longshot but Ive tried googling it and searching on ebay and I can't really find anything. So does anyone know how much this desk is worth?

First to help out gets a cookie ;)

Thanks!


EDIT: I should also mention that this is a rather small desk , its more for young kids not high school or middle school its definately a elementary school desk.

In my experience, suprisingly little. School desks were made in such large abundence that to this day they aren't rare. Many old schools are still using desks 50+ years old, and ones that aren't generally have several in storage.

It's worth more as a curiosity than an antique. I'd give a WAG of $20 give or take, depending on the condition.

Do I still get a cookie even though it isn't the news you were looking for? :)

I have to agree with bernse, your school desk is worth about $20.00, maybe $30.00, if you can find a chump. There are a lot of old school desks out there. It is not an antique if it is less than 100 years old.
