<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 2287943, member: 5170&quot;]If you search online you can find kits that will help you modify the bed for queen-sized mattresses. If it&#039;s for one person then the best thing to do is leave the bed frame as-is; modifications usually cause a drop in value. However, if you have to have the bed modified then it sounds like you&#039;re on the right track with those wood siderail extenders.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jenny Linds were made for many decades, from the mid 19th century until well into the 20th. Yours appears to be walnut, as most were. I&#039;d say yours is earlier rather than later, but I can&#039;t tell what&#039;s going on with the headboard; more photos would help. Unlike yours, Jenny Lind headboards are usually not solid and in fact they&#039;re usually a mirror of the footboard, slightly taller (or not).</p><p><br /></p><p>Like all other &quot;brown furniture,&quot; your bed has lost value in the past 20 years. I don&#039;t know where you&nbsp; are, so can&#039;t assign a realistic $ amount. A bed frame like this would bring $150 - $200 or so at auction in my part of the U.S. Midwest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
