We retail comparables in the $200.00- $250.00 range, but they tend to sit for quite a while even at that price. Chests like this were made in huge numbers, of which most still survive.

With your valued option, I sold this unit to a nice family, I started my asking price at 200.00 , and settled for 150.00 as it was a christmas time, thanks again for your time.
