Is My Antique Cedar Chest Worth Anything?

I own this beautiful cedar chest made by Continental Desk Co. in Rockford, IL. Not sure when was made but seems that there is no information available about this company. There is also Moth Insurance form (damage up to $100) issued by St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Co. Does anyone know when was this chest made and if it is worth anything?


Answer: Your best bet is to try the monthly antique fairs. Take photos of the inside and outside features of the chest and show them to local vendors that sell furniture. Some antique fairs have appraisers. The Rose Bowl has appraisers and the fair is on the 2nd Sunday of the month. You can also try auction houses. Every now and then they do free appraisals. Ask several people.
