These date from the turn of the 19th century, there was a big demand for these up to the 1990's, demand and values for them have declined a great deal since then. We currently retail examples like this now for about $800.00.

One great place to sell this lovely piece is on Craigslist.  I don't know what part of the country you are from, but I live in a major city and many antiques are bought and sold on Craigslist.  You can also go to a local dealer, but they want to make a profit, too, and that is going to come off of your end.   Try Craigslist.  What city do you live near, I might be interested in this piece.
