What's it worth? Appraisal for Buckboard wagon

Randy says:

Wally

This wagon was purchased new from J. D. Newman Wagon and Mule store in Sandersville GA. by my Grandfather in the late 1800’s.  He used this wagon on a mail route for several years. 

The wagon has been stored inside since it’s last use.  I helped my Father move it from my Grandfathers home place to our home in the mid 1970’s.  We pulled it behind a pulpwood truck right down the highway to our house and placed it in my Dad’s barn where it has been to this day.

 I have inherited this wonderful piece of history and would like to find out the value of it in case it is sold or donated to the local historical society.

AW says: This is a nice little work or family go to town buckboard wagon. It appears to be in excellent condition. These are still popular on farms and in rural areas. Today’s equivalent might be a small Chevy pick-up truck. It’s circa late 1800s as you’ve indicated.

What it worth? Appraisal of antique sideboard

I would like an appraisal of this sideboard.   It was purchased used by my grandparents in the 1920’s.    Mirror, glass and drawer lining are original, the leading was redone about 20 years ago.     Curved side glass doors have locks.   

Let me know if you need further pictures or information.

Thank you,
Brent 

AW says: That’s a nice quality and rather unusual buffet. It’s in the American Empire style and has elephantine feet. It’s made with Oak veneer, and is a bit of a transitional piece. (Coming out of the Empire style and towards the Art & Crafts era)

The unusual things are that it has a bow front, and curio sides. It’s uniqueness is what would help sell this in an auction.

Circa late 1800s.

• Retail Value: $1,500
• Wholesale: $500
• Quick Sale $350

(The reason for the great gap here between retail and wholesale, is that that right now in this economy, furniture especially is selling slow, so dealers are not investing much in it right now.)
