<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MarylandRenaissanceMan, post: 2226888, member: 15199&quot;]Hi all. I am upgrading my home. In the process I am giving away lots of stuff to local charities or via CraigsList. But I have a few old items of furniture that have proven to have some real value. I have an old-but-stylish living room hutch. I am sure it would be more stylish if the finish looked new, when in fact it&#039;s very worn. Also, the glass and metal lacework doors disappeared long ago. Nonetheless, perhaps some can tell me if this is potentially worth anything, or if instead it&#039;s just old junk to be given away. Any feedback is appreciated. Details follow, and I&#039;ve included some pictures. (I do not have money for a professional appraisal. And I wouldn&#039;t even know where to begin searching for information. Especially because while I know the manufacturer, there is no model number or part number on the hutch. But even a general guess as to a possible range would be helpful. Or if someone can identify a particular model, year, and similar, that would help a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Living room / Dining room hutch. Made by Furniture Guild of California. I don&#039;t know the date of manufacture, but I obtained it &quot;previously-owned&quot; some 35+ years ago, so it&#039;s older than that.</p><p><br /></p><p>The exterior surfaces obviously need substantial restoration, or a total sanding down and complete refinishing. Again, the original top shelving doors are missing. Also, a cat-scratching carpet was nailed to the side and needs to be removed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Otherwise in good, useful, fully operational condition. With a nicely done finish I think it would look very classy.</p><p><br /></p><p>The top part of the hutch is 32.5&quot; height by 12.5 &quot; deep by 33&quot; wide. The clearance between the shelves is 10&quot; for the top two, and 11&quot; on the bottom. The bottom, including the legs, is 34&quot; high, with the legs taking about 6&quot;. The bottom is 17&quot; deep by 38&quot; wide, with again about 1 extra inch on the front and sides for the top surface. The total height is around 66&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]255214[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]255215[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]255216[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]255217[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]255218[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]255219[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]255220[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
