No idea, and yeah it looks like garbage bc it needs a good polishing. There isn't a marker on it anywhere

This has been in the family for 3 generations. I know my grandfather purchased this as an antique, and my mom remembers is it always being in the house growing up. I think she said it's a federal desk, definitely mahogany.
I have no room or use for it at all, and I'm thinking of just selling it. All pieces are there - the drawer knobs are little wood-carved flowers that have come loose over time and I keep them in the drawer. Ignore the mess, it's sort of in a catch-all corner. Measures roughly 36" wide and 24" deep.
No marker of manufacturer anywhere, just some hand-written numbers on the bottom. No dovetail drawers, either, which is weird. Other than the knobs coming loose and needing a good polishing, it's in near-mint condition. Does anyone know what a fair price would be for this desk?
