Next time you post something you "Inherit" from your aunt, make sure to not include to auction lot number in your title. We aren't here to provide pre sale estimates for people ultimately looking to resell that can't do the research for themselves, sorry, I doubt you'll be getting a response.

I may have spoken too soon, sorry. This piece was auctioned off in 2004. The price records aren't available any longer online. If your aunt purchase the piece during that timeframe I would reccomend getting in contact with the auction company that previously sold the piece, they should be able to dig something up.

Here is the only similar example correspondence box I could find. I would still reccomend getting a second opinion as to value but most likely they are close.
