    So these 2 pieces are up for auction near me....I'm considering bidding for reselling purposes if I can get them cheap enough....
    First, are they both mcm? I particularly like the dresser and nightstand (brand Harmon mfg co.)....what do you think the higher end of resale could be?
    Also the chest is a Lane (it looks like a dresser but is the one w 2 white mats on top)
    Thank you!

    It appears you have 2 Harmon dressers - a highboy and a lowboy, neither is a nightstand. I doubt that they are anything more than used furniture despite their age. I tough sale in today's world.

    I doubt even the auction house will get many nibbles on them. Around here the local ReStore would sell them for about $200/ pair.

    F.S. Harmon Mfg of Tacoma. I wasn't familiar with them but read that in 1950 they were the 2nd largest furniture manufacturer in the US, and that Tacoma was once called the "Grand Rapids of the West". The dressers are MCM in style but Harmon isn't a big name in MCM furniture, so values will be along the lines of other middle-tier, mass-produced lines like Harmony House (Sears), or Montgomery Ward. The Lane chest is MCM style as well, though the demand for chests is not too high these days. Here in Central Texas, I'd guess high end on the dressers (in good condition) would be $150-$200 each. The Lane chest probably $100-$150.

    I rather like that one. The legs look a little iffy but the wood is pretty.
