1950's Lane Cedar Chest (purchased by my grandmother when engaged to my grandfather).
Style Number: 2913
Serial Number: 355240
(On one of your pages, someone said that serial number meant it was made on April 25, 1953 - and 1953 is the year she said she had purchased it.)
It's 70 years old. In quite good condition for a 70 year old piece of Lane furniture. Minimal stains on the top/lid and the front panel. The inside is essentially spotless almost. The felt on the little shelf when opened could use replacement, which is something I could easily handle. Otherwise, it's in pretty great shape.
Trying to find out what it's worth now, because I'd like to sell it. I've seen sites where this model and other similar ones from the 50's were listed between $400-$650, and don't seem to be in as good of a condition as mine is.
Please let me know an approximate amount that I could sell this for, as well as the best way/place to sell it an maximize profit.
Thank you.
