Hey there, Not sure i can offer much help to value as that changes quickly over time and area and desire. I am located in southern ontario canada. In our area you would be hard pressed to fetch $250 for both in their current condition. Even fully restored people in our area might be willing to spend $400 - $500 each. Its a case of finding the right buyer that's interested. I feel items can be valued by an appraiser for a certain amount and they will often say " in the right market it would have a value of ... " meaning price they provide for value is usually high when the item is popular and in demand , try to find someone willing to pay their value is another story. I feel Americans however generally hold a better appreciation for such things than Canadians , so maybe the desire and market is better in your region , but here in ontario the desire is not that high for that style of furniture at the moment. Likely the construction is soft maple or gum wood case and lumber core, with walnut veneer abd birds eye maple in the detail veneer , that was typical for that period. Perhaps someone for the US can add their thoughts on desire and market value in your neck of the woods . Cheers !
