Re: Granny's Cedar Chest
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.

Have a 1944 chest like this was being donated but the people gave it to me. In great shape. Wondering how much it's worth style number 482006 and serial number 44011
Re: Granny's Cedar Chest
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.

How much are they really worth in excellent condition?
