Re: Roos Cedar Vhest
The Roos chests were made in large numbers, probably only second to the chests by Lane furniture in therms of production. Values for chests by both made in the mid 1920's are modest, we see ones like this go at auction for less than $75.00 in most cases and retail for about $200.00 if in very good condition.
