    Hello First time poster
    I have been cleaning out a shed that came with a house that i brought and was wondering if some of these furniture pieces might have some value. ( not going to post all at once) but we some huge interest in some items when I posted a pic of a mirror and hope I don’t miss something.
    So I have a cabinet with a fold out draw no other marking that i can see.

    Thank you all for your time

    retro is selling is some parts of the country. Nor sure where you are . Washington state and texas seem to be good. Here in Missouri not much value.

    Is there a door missing on the bottom left ? I think you'd be surprised how much it'd go for . People still seem to love MCM.

    As other said, really depends on where you are. This might be a $500 piece (or more) in Chicago, NYC, or LA. Not worth much in Podunkville, Midwest. I live in a semi-rural town of about 200,000 with a major university. I would have customer interest, but it would probably need to be under $200.00 to sell.

    I've just watched some (I don't have the stomach for the whole thing) of a British show called "The house the 50s built" which is an apology of the spontaneous combustion of taste that occurred during the said decade. I was expecting a wink for fifteen minutes as the guy praised purple synthetic carpets, and the hiding of a gothic fireplace behind plywood to install a yellow electric heater. Which goes to show there's a public for MCM--the presenter, writers, TV channel/media, and intended audience. (sorry for the venting)

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Welcome to Antiquers, @nathan1800 . I should have guessed you were in the southern hemisphere -- nice weather outdoors! Not sure whether we have any Aussie members who would know the going rate of something like this. I hope you do well with it.
