WWI Barrack Bed

[floodvictim]

It's me, newbie again, you may remember me from the question I asked about pricing the international harvester fridge.....another antique that I had in my basement was an iron bed, that was a barrack bed in WWI..... After looking through the site I realize you guys are interested in popular antiques, but I really need help pricing some items after my flood.  I know that these things probably don't have any value to the insurance company, but they did have value to me......even if its not much I would appreciate any help  I can get.  I need pricing or estimates for both items mentioned above if anyone could be so kind as to help   it would be greatly appreciated......Th anks

Hi......sorry to here of the rising waters. I have seen the damage that water can do. It's not a pretty site.

Obviously your iron bed is going to be collectible to someone who collects world war memoribilia. To those who don't it's just an iron bed. I just recently sold a circa WWII medical stretcher for $25 out of our antique mall where we consign. It could have likely brought more elsewhere.

Perhaps that can help lead you in the direction your seeking......

:huh: tim is right, insurance company's require item to item appraisal's on antiques and collectibles, prior to flood fire etc. I would try for $75.00 on the bed and $150.00 on the frig.

Thanks guys that helps out alot.....I Knew that I had a couple of antiques that my mom had given me when I moved out, and I have had them a long time as well,  but I didn't realize how old they were until I started asking her about them when we had the flood.  Thanks again for all of your help.
