Storkline Child's Dresser, 1950s

Description

This is a Storkline Dresser of Chicago, Ill. I believe it is from the early 1950s. There is a side cabinet with a sliding rod for hanging baby clothes and 4 drawers, plus little wheels at the bottom for easy moving. The painting on the front looks like it's Noah's Ark with a Man in the Moon at the top of it. It is of solid wood of a blonde color. The top of the dresser has a couple of marks on it, possibly from an old sticker and can possibly be removed with the right cleanser. Otherwise, it's in excellent condition.  Would like an idea of its value as I'm looking to sell this piece. It has been in the family for many years.

Storkline was one of the only companies specializing in children's furniture, Storkline dominated the market in the 1920s and 1930s, and it saw continued success in the following decades. It produced furniture at the factory until another furniture company bought the corporation in the 1960s. No huge value though, under $100.00 at auction.
