<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 177670, member: 37&quot;]They are, of course, worth something. Whether or not they are worth big money largely depends on where you are and how you market them.&nbsp; You can find these on a site called 1stdibs for very high money.&nbsp; They are a site that caters to decorators, hardly ever sell at list price, and are way over-priced in my opinion.&nbsp; You often see them in big city antique shops at about half what they are found on that site for.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if you read the other thread about this furniture I posted in the antiques thread.&nbsp; If not, you should do so. </p><p><br /></p><p>As stated there, people prefer these stripped and clear coated or professionally painted in solid contrasting colors.&nbsp; Even then, there is not much of a market in some places.&nbsp; I never did sell mine despite having on display in our store for about 3 months.&nbsp; If you are in LA, Chicago, or NYC, you would have a pretty good market.&nbsp;&nbsp; A look on ebay shows sales are hit or miss.&nbsp; A few sold in the $200-$500.00 range but many others went unsold.&nbsp; Here are those results. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=simmons+dresser&amp;LH_Complete=1&amp;_osacat=0&amp;_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H1.Xsimmons+metal+dresser.TRS1&amp;_nkw=simmons+metal+dresser&amp;_sacat=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=simmons+dresser&amp;LH_Complete=1&amp;_osacat=0&amp;_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H1.Xsimmons+metal+dresser.TRS1&amp;_nkw=simmons+metal+dresser&amp;_sacat=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=simmons+dresser&amp;LH_Complete=1&amp;_osacat=0&amp;_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H1.Xsimmons+metal+dresser.TRS1&amp;_nkw=simmons+metal+dresser&amp;_sacat=0</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As stated in the previous thread, these are often attributed to Norman Bel Geddes.&nbsp; My research has not born that out.&nbsp; I believe your pieces are later production (probably post-war) and not designed by him.&nbsp; As such, and in original finish, the value is going to be moderate, based on where you are (unless willing to ship), and how you market them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
