We see quite a few of these lane chests through here, it seems virtually every household that could afford one from 1915 -1945 bought one ;~). Values for them tend to be modest, most like yours sell forless than $200.00.

Values for all Lane chests are relatively modest, 1940's chests, even if in very good condition often go at auction for less than $100.00. We have a hard time getting more than $200.00 for one in excellent condition these days.
