    Hi, jimmyst!

    I've enhanced the images that you had attached some so that they could be seen better because they were kind of dark, and also placed them directly into this post so that the images are readily available for all to see.

    You did do a great job of taking pictures and attaching the images, by the way!

    The secretary is beautiful! And, if not a reproduction, is most certainly from the time of the 1930's to 1940's. Around here, that sort of antique, if in excellent condition, as yours appears to be, would probably be valued anywhere in the $450.00 to $650.00 range. It does depend on the location though and what someone would be willing to pay for such an item. Prices can vary by even a couple hundred of dollars even within an hour's driving distance and if a place where things like this are being sold are what one might consider to be a "tourist trap". On the east and west coasts of the U.S. it might even go for more than those figures.

    Oops! Let me try to fix that! They didn't appear as I intended them to, visible on the thread!

    Thanks!

    Okay, I fixed the problem with the posting of the images. I tried to center them and that may have been the problem. The inside or your secretary does have some spots that need to be touch up. That's something that's easy to do by someone who really knows how to do it. The figures that I gave to you should be very accurate for around where I live and work.
