I have a oak pedestal desk, that has this name engraved on it "Pittsburgh Office Equipment - Horrac" desk. Can you give me idea what this might be worth.

Answers

To properly determine values for items like your desk an appraiser or dealer needs the following information:

1.what the item is and what it is constructed of. 2.what style is it, single or double pedestal. 3.number and type of drawers. 4.a description of the hardware ( drawer pulls). 5.size, length, width and height. 6.any distinguishing features that might set it apart from other desks, things like does it have carved feet, inlay or a leather top.

In other words be as descriptive as you can, from the information you provided the answer would be from $ 75.00- $5000.00, with a more detailed description I could give you a more detailed answer
