Value of my antique star brand shoe bench
« on: June 02, 2014, 06:44:58 pm »
This was in my dad's retail store.  I have acquired it and would like to know the value of it. It does needs some refinishing. But it is a very old maybe as early as 1915

This made $225

One in better condition made $250. Judging by the photo, i'd say yours is not in as good condition and might be $125-175 ?

I totally agree with Ipcress on the RETAIL value and conditions.

HOWEVER....the sentimental and family value is PRICELESS!  I would hold on to that in a heart beat!  Do you also have those little wedged stools with rubber on the incline for people to put their foot on while the salesperson puts the shoe on you?
