Featured Ballman Cumming antique set

Hey guys! I am new here and have no idea about antiques. My grandmother bought a 3 piece bedroom set a while back, and we have no where to store it now that her house is selling. Does anyone have any information that would be helpful in selling these pieces. I only have a few pics of one of the pieces. The other pieces are a full size bed frame and a small dresser with 3 drawers.

We had another Ballman Cummings piece here a few months ago. I don't know if any of this will help:

Ballman Cummings Furniture Company, I don’t know if is a dresser or vanity? | Antiques Board (antiquers.com)

 

Ca. 1910-20 oak with the original (darker) stain. The horizontal surface is rough and needs some help with Howard's Restore-a -Finish. You're also missing a drawer pull.

If the other pieces are in similar condition you'll be lucky to get $100-$150 for all of them, depending on where you are.

 

It really does depend on where and how selling. Also, hard to evaluate what we can't see. The one piece shown is unusual but has condition problems as noted by Ghopper. That said, I think his evaluation is a bit low. I could see this piece alone bringing $100.00 or so in my Midwest location on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace. You might do better (or worse) depending on where you are. A smaller dresser and bed are not going to bring as much per piece. Any way you look at it, you are not going to get rich off these.

 

Ok thanks! We just can’t store it and didn’t want to give it away. We are in north Georgia.

 

I have two matching pieces of Ballman Cumming furniture that I bought from a contractor who was renovating a house that was well over a hundred years old. One of the pieces, a chest of drawers, is actually in pretty good condition for it's age. The other is a dresser with mirror, and I have to make some minor repairs to a couple of the drawers (which I plan to do). Here's a photo of the chest of drawers. Both pieces have round burned wood maker marks inside the top drawers. Anyone want to venture a guess what I might be able to resell these for? I really like them, but my house is already too crowded. Lol.
