First you need to state what kind of information you are seeking before anyone can answer your question. Since the company only stopped making furniture in 2017 given the condition I question that they were the last that they made. If you are looking for resale prices no one here will know what they are worth in your market.

maifleur, I believe the OP meant the last picture, not that it was the last made by Kroehler.

The dresser and chest in the first two pics have a mid-century Danish Modern look. The chest in the last pic is probably 1930's, or so. Someone like Linda C can probably give you better information.

What info do you want ? Do you mean the first two pieces were made by Century ?

I really enjoyed reading this post! I'm probably guilty of buying ALL THE PLANTZ!! I started with a couple then a few more... Because I'm lucky to find so many different types in my area at reasonable prices I take risks in buying ones that may or may not do well here. I figure it's worth the risk. I had no idea how lucky I am to find such a variety, but it's rare to find a big established plant. Although I just passed on a 5 foot (on trellis) multi flowering carnosa because I couldn't fit it in the car... I have a couple of Graveyard hoyas, most I've replaced and trying again. (Or will if I find another one for sale) I don't think I'll get another lauterbachii again even though they turn up all the time. Mine grew fast and tall but died. Not sure if it was underwatering or the cold but as I since found out it grows huge with next to no chance of me ever seeing flowers here I really cant be bothered buying it again. Since joining this group and learning "if in doubt, unpot and check roots and/or chop" I haven't lost many plants, except poor polyneura that got cooked in the last heatwave :( (I bought a new one in case my cuttings didn't take but they did!)

Okay so it's been awhile, but we finally tackled our dresser that I first asked about last year. We couldn't salvage the top due to the water damage so we made a new top out of salvaged barn board. The same deal with the "skin's" on each side. They came off, but we really liked how it looked underneath so we kept it plain. Sanded the entire thing then added a coat of polyurethane. After that, I had planned on staining it a walnut colour, but the colour that came up was so nice (and so far off the original green-ish colour), that I left it at that. It only had 3 wood knobs left, which we replaced with some nice glass ones. Since it's not really original anymore anyhow, we thought they added some pizazz to it esp since the colour of the glass matches the tone of the wood. We love it! It was nice to save from being thrown out and giving it a new life. :) And, it's still nicer and cheaper than most of the new crap in stores today! Once again, I'll give the link so there are a few pics. Enjoy! On to the next piece...I see why people get addicted to rehab lol https://picasaweb.google.com/schmenn/1920sDresserRehab?authuser=0amp;authkey=Gv1sRgCOi5y6DakqCXLg&feat=directlink Jenn

Anyone purchase a Speed Queen in the last couple of months?

We nust bought one yesterday, old school AWn432 for 849.99 w/tax here in central Florida, 905.24. Pretty stoked! Speed Queen baby! Yes, that's hot water and it's full to the top! No pushing a button repeatedly to put in another item and it and inadvertently cancels, a-huh, yup and you get to add more soap in. Ya that's right, SQ you just lift the lid like the old days. Yippee, no more tepid 3 cups of water swishing back n forth, not getting your clothes clean and taking 74-90 minutes a load. 30 minutes baby! Doesn't sound like a freight train and purrs like a kitten! For fancier controls also comes in a toutch screen style but simple suites me. . And yes, I don't apologize - all the greenies can kiss my a$$, cause I have Clean Clothes Fast! Did I say I'm stoked! Only thing is a partial downer is the cold rinse, but I can manually turn the dial to wash, fill up with warm or hot water then turn it back to the rince cycle. Buy of the century!

I have a chest of drawers and a big dresser of the type that in this area were called petticoat dressers with the same type of scrolling on the bottom. Being dumb in my early teens I removed the Sears label that stated a 1927 date so 1930s is in the ballpark. I do wonder if it was reworked. I have a raised shield in the middle. I have seen similar pieces where there were side raised areas. The etching just seems a little strange for that period.

Google Kroehler and Century for market prices. Lots on etsy.

Keep in mind the furniture's value is for you and your location.

Lovely pieces.
