Apparently, not the most desirable item in today's market...at least in Texas: ;) http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/9586315
Yours is a little more stylish, so it might be easier to find a buyer for.

Are you buying it or selling it? 

The big questions is how easy does it work....pulling it in and stowing it away.

I think this is the fold out kind not the trundle type !!  For families with a bunch of kids in the 30`s,, these were handy !!

I had to hit enlarge because the pics won't open up.  Now I see.  This is what I knew to be a convertible day bed.

Another poster asked the same question here!

Not sure about this one but a few folded both ways to make almost same room as three roll-away cots !!~ It was a space saver !! Three boys or three girls would have fit to sleep !!
