<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 1708182, member: 50&quot;]The problem with trying to place a value on things is that it depends on so many factors. </p><ul> <li>what part of the world you&#039;re in </li> <li>what your options are for selling such as listing with an auction house or selling at a yard sale</li> <li>can you ship it or does it have to be a local sale</li> <li>what condition is it in</li> <li>etc</li> </ul><p>The easiest thing to do is to look for sold examples like yours and then compare to your options. You can check sold items on Ebay or someplace like Liveauctioneers where many different auction houses in many locations have things posted. Keep in mind that any sites like those will also come with fees for selling.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, this appears to be like yours (you can compare the size etc) and the information such as age may or may not be correct. It sold in Mississippi, USA in 2014 for $450. Generally speaking many antique/vintage items have decreased in value in the last few years but that&#039;s just a general statement.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/27430438_brass-covered-kindling-box-ca-1860-23-in-t-26-in" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/27430438_brass-covered-kindling-box-ca-1860-23-in-t-26-in" rel="nofollow">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/27430438_brass-covered-kindling-box-ca-1860-23-in-t-26-in</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://p1.liveauctioneers.com/267/55821/27430438_1_x.jpg?auto=webp&amp;format=pjpg&amp;version=1401396116" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a couple searches on that site with similar items.</p><p><a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/search/?keyword=brass%20kindling%20box&amp;sort=-relevance&amp;status=archive" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/search/?keyword=brass%20kindling%20box&amp;sort=-relevance&amp;status=archive" rel="nofollow">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/search/?keyword=brass kindling box&amp;sort=-relevance&amp;status=archive</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/search/?keyword=brass%20log%20box&amp;sort=-relevance&amp;status=archive" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/search/?keyword=brass%20log%20box&amp;sort=-relevance&amp;status=archive" rel="nofollow">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/search/?keyword=brass log box&amp;sort=-relevance&amp;status=archive</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
