<p>[QUOTE="AveCo, post: 4272679, member: 22214"]It is about 58" long so I was thinking it may be for a child, the lip at the rails is about an inch also. I wondered about the lack of a headboard, but I think that may just be another one of the quirks of the piece. </p><p>I of course second the crabbing here, actually going out today to pull the pots for our weekly crab feast. Last week pulled almost a bushel, though I wish they were as large as the one you just posted. </p><p>I do not know if this is the place to ask, but I am sort of stuck... one of the scholars I have shown the bed to would like it for their collection (just received an email this morning), and I think I will sell it directly to them as I'm honored they would want anything I have found, I just haven't a clue on pricing it. If it was a chair, or a table or a cabinet, there are semi-comparable pieces I could guess from, but it is still just a bed, one of 15~ Chesapeake/ Maryland early settlement pieces, but still a bed. Do you, or does anyone have an idea about it?</p><p>Jeremy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
