I have a New Travis Court Collection China hutch and was wondering if you knew how much I might be able to see it for. Thank you,
Jennifer
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.

Thanks!

Yes, if is just says "Drexel" it predates 1974.

How you sell them depends on what you are trying to do. Do you have a fixed price that you want to sell your items for? If so then you can place a free Classified Ad here. If you want to auction your item then eBay is the place to make it happen.
Enjoy,

I have a bunch of pieces from this collection. How do I sell them?
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.

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

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.

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.

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.
