Does anyone know what I should sell my Cabinet for? I live in the Seattle area.

Nice cabinet. I have a Sellers. If I remember I paid around 300 for mine 15 years ago. 300 - 500 depending what kind of wood and condition would be a start. Prices  have came down some with the rotten economy so take that into consideration. Just my personal opinion here,others might say different.

what brand is it ?

Local Craigslist listings are another good way to get a fix on what similar cabinets are selling for in your area. Run a search for Hoosier and that should bring up some similar cabinets. $300 is about average here too, but there are some extreme highs and lows right now. Looking at what is currently available in the SF Bay Area, someone is listing one for $50 bucks (no photo) and another person has one listed at over $3k (Says it is a Hawkeye brand? I could find no further info on these and this one has been relisted).

Does yours have all the original "goodies" that originally came with these types of cabinets, like glass jars, flour bin etc.? Has it been refinished or altered?

OLDz it is a McDougall!

If you look at the 2nd link on my previous post the current average pricing is listed on the auction $300 - $600.

It will take quite awhile for the market to turn around....but they will be worth more down the line.

Bremerton yours appears to be in good shape, so if the insides look just as good...go for the higher amount if you have to sell.

Although Hoosier was a name of a brand, these are called Hoosier style cabinets.  Back in the time of high popularity there were over 200 manufacturers.

Welcome to the forum , bremerton .

I'm guessing that your item has been refinished .... This can raise or lower the value , depending on who's buying it .

From your image , it looks pretty clean-lined and functional , even today .

If it's all original hardware & 'chipless' & mostly primo condition , I'd guess that the most it could bring in , in the Seattle area(s) would be through private buyers .
The most I've seen a refinished one sell for around here (Seattle-Tacoma area) was $895.00 , early last year .... buyer was an interior decorator buying it for a job .

I suppose , though , it's up to you to set a price that will at least sastisfy what you're willing to let it go for .

Cool little unit .

Bremerton, it looks to me like you need to find a "cutting board".

That is what I forgot to ask about Cogar!  Thanks for the catch.  Looks like there is a gap where one should be!

This is identical  to my Sellers brand cabinet. The only difference is mine does not have the glass. Mine  does have old glass knobs but  dont know if they are original to the cabinet.

Great Sellers Ad/Info!

I guess the glass knobs are orginal. Thanks KC for the link.

Although this one is a different brand, this Hoosier style cabinet might be a good example of what $375 will get you in a Hoosier cabinet:
