I have an old oak banker's desk with one stuck drawer on the bottom left, any suggestions?
The desk is in excellent shape, just this drawer will not open. I have tried everything I can think of.

Run a knife blade around the top sides and bottom to check for a latch. Sometimes they are well hidden. If you can turn the desk over you may see a latch or lock. Take the other drawers out to try and find a pinch point if you have not found a latch or lock.
I posted before if there is a drawer on top take it out to see if there is something holding the bottom drawer in. then use the file to sand it down then use wax ton the runners or bottom of the drawer it might be that the runners need to be fixed.
Some desks used a latch for security. Opening another, specific drawer will release the latch, allowing you to open the bottom drawer.
Hey if you can get it out turn it over and use a nail file on it to sand it down then get some candle was and rob where the drawer sticks. And maybe put some on the drawer.
Can you get your hand(s) under the drawer bottom? Try pushing up on the bottom back of the drawer.
I have an old bankers desk with one stuck drawer on the bottom left. It might be stuck from moisture or an overrun of laquer.
