Nice, one...this style would have been higher than the usual 200-300/auction value. If perfect, up to $600...so, hope to get 1/2. http://chicagoantiquesguide.com/archives/20051213064534.php

It is not worth fixing, but it would not hurt value...it is too common to be valuable. Try free classified ads, like here & www.collect.com . Google or look in your phone book for a nearby auction house or even consignment shop. Try, your local craiglist or similar. Call in, if you have a local radio show that does a swap meet/ for sale/ garage sale talk show program...usually on a Sat or Sun. Ask all your local friends if they need storage! Why not have a garage sale, while you are at it? Good luck, sorry could not help more. I have 2 cedar chests, myself.

We've had quite a few Roos chests through here, this one a mix of Elizbethan and Spanish Revival ;~)Here is a link to the Roos discussions. http://www.instappraisal.com/search/node/roos%20chest "Water damage" covers a lot of ground, from just leaving white spots in the lacquer to bubbling the veneer. All of it's fixable, but at a cost. Lovejoy
