Photos of dovetails, desktop, upper shelf. Dovetails aren't perfectly regular but not obviously hand cut either. Some drawer bottoms are solid, others are plywood or a veneer. desktop looks solid, upper looks veneered. slot in desktop for the tambour is handcut. tambour is not linen backed. I'm going to guess early 1900s, about 90-100 years old, and not particularly valuable. I found a very similar desk, also marked "H.S. Crocker", with the same legs (I like that its not a pedestal), that sold in 2013 for $170. Bummer. But that was when the economy sucked.
