<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 238024, member: 37&quot;]Could have been made from a pattern by a talented amateur or a&nbsp; superior student in a shop class.&nbsp; The notches cut in the verticals for shelf adjustment bars are a kind of tricky thing to do without proper equipment.&nbsp; Also would have required a pretty good molder to do all the beading, profile work, and tongue and groove back boarding.&nbsp; These are things that were pretty common on factory built furniture.&nbsp; Would think it beyond most amateurs unless they had access to a good shop.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hadn&#039;t noticed the missing piece at the bottom.&nbsp; This will impact value quite a bit.&nbsp; I bought a similar bookcase in rough condition for $15.00 at auction.&nbsp; Sold for $75.00 after putting some work in to it.&nbsp; Thought it could have been worth more but had no takers at $95.00 over several months. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just looked at 20 pages of oak bookcases.&nbsp; This is the closest I could find but not all that similar other than being an open bookcase of similar size from about the same time period...... Sold for $70.00.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://new.liveauctioneers.com/item/41418719_victorian-oak-bookcase" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://new.liveauctioneers.com/item/41418719_victorian-oak-bookcase" rel="nofollow">https://new.liveauctioneers.com/item/41418719_victorian-oak-bookcase</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the site with another 2500 bookcases if you want to keep looking......</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://new.liveauctioneers.com/search?parameters=%7B%22pageSize%22:24,%22keyword%22:%22oak%20bookcase%22,%22sort%22:%22-relevance%22,%22status%22:%22archive%22,%22page%22:20%7D" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://new.liveauctioneers.com/search?parameters=%7B%22pageSize%22:24,%22keyword%22:%22oak%20bookcase%22,%22sort%22:%22-relevance%22,%22status%22:%22archive%22,%22page%22:20%7D" rel="nofollow">https://new.liveauctioneers.com/search?parameters={&quot;pageSize&quot;:24,&quot;keyword&quot;:&quot;oak bookcase&quot;,&quot;sort&quot;:&quot;-relevance&quot;,&quot;status&quot;:&quot;archive&quot;,&quot;page&quot;:20}</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
