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

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.
