I checked the drawers and back of the cabinets but found nothing. Unfortunately that is all I can give you for your estimate. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. We've decided to keep the table and chairs since they match the floors so well in our new house. Do you have a ballpark price for the hutch and buffet as separate pieces" Measurements for those two pieces are:
Buffet--34" high, 58" long, and 18" deep.
Hutch--70" high, 41" long, and 14" deep.
Any suggestions on where is best to try and sell? Is a consignment shop the best option? Thx

You can go that route, or see if they'll buy it outright. It may be useful to ask around in your area to see what consignment stores might pay for these. If they sell them on consignment, they'll take a commission and most likely not pay you until things sell, which can take awhile. Another option is to sell these through auction; a conservative estimate for each would be $150-250, which would certainly generate interest among buyers and I wouldn't be surprised if they each sold towards the high end of those estimates.
We work with lots of auctioneers from relevant and highly qualified auction houses. Your item is in our database of leads and interested auctioneers will reach out to you directly on your email if they can help you sell your item.
If you said "yes" or "maybe" when we asked if your item was for sale auctioneers are now able to contact you. If you said "no" go to your item page and change that to "yes".

Do you have a similar item and want to know how much it’s worth?
