I have a 1920's roll-top desk that is in okay condition but needs restoration.

I got it off the side of a driveway thinking I would restore it but I just have too many projects.

At this point I would like to give it to anyone who would want it. Anyone have any ideas? I don't really want to do craigslist or anything like that because I don't want a bunch of random folks coming to my house.

Craigslist is fine if you use the email relay ( don't use your phone number ) and pre-vet people. You can usually get a sense of who is legit. As far as coming to your house, andly stranger could they don't need a craigslist invite. Just don't say "today doesn't work because I'm not home." You can also check if there is a local hobby group on Facebook Market place.
