Kroehler Buffet - Original? Price?

Hi all - we are cleaning out my in laws house and will be having an estate sale soon. I'm trying to figure out if this Kroehler buffet is original, when it originated, and how much it's worth. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Thanks, I just updated them (took me a few minutes to figure it out). Can you see them now?

 

What size is it? @KMoore ?
It looks like a 1950s piece.

It will depend upon your location as to what blond wood furniture will sell for. In my area (New Orleans), it would have greater appeal due to the fleur-de-lis (Saints football team logo), and due to the fact that it is blond and not dark brown.

 

I'm not certain the measurements, but should be able to get them tomorrow. I'm in the St. Louis area, if that helps at all. Thanks!

 

The brand was using a sans-serif type face by 1951 so will be earlier.

Wasnt blonde wood more of a 50s thing ? I know here in florida youd be lucky to get $2-300 and more like $1-150 . Looks to be wonderful quality .

 

Handsome 1940s piece with beautiful burl. The blonde wood helps, but the bulk of the buffet works against you. I'm west of you in the Show-Me state, but I think Johnny's prices would apply here as well. Too bad, since the piece was so obviously well taken care of.

 

After a quick internet search, the only references I can find to the brand using the tagline "Sterling Quality" were in the 1930s.

Wow,Id have never thought 30s ! There you go,always learning on here.

 

Thanks all for your help! I never would have imagined it was from the 1930s!

Since I posted this, I have found out it's a family heirloom. If I get more information about it, I'll be sure to share!

 

Oh! You mustn't assume your piece is from the 1930s based on my quick internet research. All I've found is... The brand appears to have begun using the tagline "Sterling Quality" in the 1930s. As it can be verified that the brand changed its logo at the beginning of the 1950s, there is a possible date range of two decades. Please wait for other opinions as to where its manufacture would fall within.

Thanks, Ghopper, Debora, Johnny <3

 

I would also say 40s.
