Drexel was not making furniture of this type in 1902, they didn't open for business until 1903 ;~). The Travis Court line was introduced during the late 1940's.

Re: new travis court collection china hutch

A lot depends on your local market, the economic conditions there and the number of similar pieces currently offered for sale..... so anywhere from $400.00- $1000.00.

age of china cabinet

The New Travis Court line was an original "Drexel" line introduced during the late 1940's. The company became " Drexel Heritage" in 1974. Anything marked "Drexel" predates 1974.

Hi  - I have the same cabinet and mine is dated on the back Jan 49 (stamped in same letters as the New Travis Court Drexel).

The "Drexel Heirtage" mark

The "Drexel Heirtage" mark was not used until the two companies merged in 1974.

china cabinet

I think your cabinet is older than 1974.  I have the same cabinet and it was made in 1966.  Hope it helps

Well some must be, I know I

Well some must be, I know I pop in and do 3-5 everyday ;~). In the case of your piece it's a Post 1974 reproduction of 18th Century English Georgian furniture. Drexel acquired the successful Heritage Furniture Company from High Point, North Carolina. The two companies operated as separate divisions until 1974, when Drexel Enterprises and Heritage Furniture Company became Drexel Heritage. Value wise about $3500.00.

Re: new travis court collection china hutch

I have this china hutch with matching buffet.  They are both new travis court collection by Drexel, so they predate 1975.  Does anyone know the worth of the set or where I could sell them for a decent price together?  Thanks!

Re: new travis court collection china hutch

The market being what it is right now it's difficult to get a decent price for anything but the upper end pieces. Values vary considerably across the country. I would suggest checking "Sold"auction values at  www.liveauctioneers.com and adding about 30% to give you a current retail.

Re: new travis court collection china hutch

Hi-

Unfortunately I didn't know the value of the pieces and donated the table, leaves and chairs to charity.  I do have the above hutch and matching buffet.
