Kittinger Dressers - would like advice on valuation

Hello - I have a set of Kittinger Dressers which were purchased by my grandparents around the 1930's or 40's. There are superficial signs of wear, and they are in good shape functionally. I was wondering if someone can give me an approximate "ball park" for what they would sell for if I were to advertise privately. Thanks in advance.

 

Really depends on where you are. Kittinger is top line furniture but not everyone recognizes it. In my semi-rural Midwest location, the buyers don't and there is little to no premium for it over other used furniture. Maybe $300 maximum each piece here and probably less. In or near a large city, you should do better.

 

Might add that this is an unpopular style these days. Probably a hard sell most places. Again, in or near a large city will have more interest. Also, the South seems to have more formal furniture buyers.

 

@verybrad - Thank you for that information ... I'm in the surrounding area of Philadelphia (major city, not the south). Considering this area, wondering what range would you price it? Or is there a data source that you can point me to? Appreciate your advice.

 

You might look on ebay for sold similar pieces in the East coastal area. I didn't see much for Kittinger but there was some for Baker, which is a similar high-end maker. I see a lot of asking prices but little in the way that has sold. Prices are high on ebay, with dealers fishing for high end buyers who want instant gratification. Consequently, I would take asking prices with a grain of salt. That said, you might try somewhere north of the $1000.00 range each piece to see if you get any interest. You can always consider offers and/or lower your price at some point.

This recently sold out of New Jersey. I don't know if they got full price or not.
