This chest has the same original padded cover pattern w serial no., etc. This may provide you with some information that comes closer to what you want to know; maybe not everything.

Have you considered placing an inquiry with Lane Furniture Company? They may have documentation on their cedar chests present value and when circulated date.

Lane cedar chests are an excellent brand and people do still buy them today but not like in the past. In the 60s and 70s, a lot of young girls were given one of these cedar chests to start planning for their wedding in the future and they called these a hope chest. Today young girls are not interested in this older tradition and therefore they do not collect cedar chests like in the past. However, there are still people who do actually buy them to store older blankets in them to protect them.

There are some people that say you can earn around 250 to 500 dollars selling one of these. However, when I check around the actual price people normally pay for one of these is around 135-175 dollars tops. You can start off on the higher end say around 250 dollars and see how this goes for you. You can always lower or adjust your price if someone is interested.

Most of the chests are worth between $200 and $400. I would price yours on the higher end.

This Lane cedar chest has been in the family since the day of purchase on August 15th, 1964. In the picture you will see that we still have the original sales contract as well showing it was purchased via layaway. Does having this provenance add much value to the piece?Value of a Lane Cedar Chest

 

Based on the serial number (264201) I am pretty sure it was made Oct 24th, 1962. However, I am unable to find any of the style we have in the normal places to search online such as eBay to ascertain its value. The style # is 6031-04. Can you please help me try to figure out the value of this Lane cedar chest and if the provenance adds any further value to the piece?

Thanks much.

I have inherited a lane cedar chest, serial number 364021, style # 1941-41.
The outside has been sanded down as it was in rough shape, most of the hardware is gone and needs to be replaced. The inside is really good. Can you give me an idea of value, and does anyone have a pic of that model, so I can refurbish it as best I can?

People are asking $250 to $450 on eBay. Keep in mind the asking price is not the true value of the item. You can only determine the true value of the item if it is sold.

I am not finding any sold recently so you can run an auction to try and sell yours. You can list it higher and lower the price if anyone is interested.

It is difficult to tell very much about your chest as the pictures are dark, and perhaps the sun is reflecting, so even the 'color' is not distinguishable.

I have managed to see the overall look of the front, and I did find some similar/identical chests for sale and sold.
The price on these items does not truly reflect value as a final value will depend on the overall condition as well as where the chest is located.
Location is important as shipping would be very expensive and sellers usually state 'local pick up only'.

You can check out the links below, as the listings will provide information about the chest and provide good examples of the type of pictures needed to sell an item.

Sold 2017: $55

Sold for $550 beautiful condition
www.chairish.com/.../vintage-lane-queen-anne-mahogany...

This one is asking $1,200 - not sold
www.chairish.com/.../chippendale-style-cedar-chest

When you list for sale you should start with a higher price, consider offers and lower the price if necessary.

This chest was give to me by my family after my grandmother passed. My cousin said it had been in her mom's basement for almost 50 yrs. It has two numbers, style #3023 and serial #450220. I can't seem to find any information.

It's not in good shape due to storing it, but the inside is in amazing condition. It has an extra lock in the original package. But it's my grandmother's and I want to pass it on to my son. She was a special lady.

Most cedar chests these days sell for around $125-$175 depending on the condition of the cedar chest. Considering yours is a bit damaged on the outside the value would be in the lower range.

I think it is a good idea to keep this in the family and pass it down to your son.
