I am looking to get an estimated value for this Hoosier. I am not sure of the manufacturer. It is probably from some time in the 1920s - 1930s. It is in excellent condition and has its original hardware, casters, shelves, and tin drawer. It does not have the flour bin. All doors, drawers, and slide outs work properly. There is only 1 flaw on front edge of counter top.

What a fun piece!! Is it marked Hoosier? There were many companies that made these. Not all were marked so you do have to be careful when listing if it is unmarked to either say Hoosier STYLE or Farmhouse Cabinet.
Here is a great article on these pieces:

Depending on where you are located and the condition (which the pictures may be deceiving but the wood on the top looks different than the wood on the bottom--if that is the case, that could decrease value--could just be the lighting).
Anyhow, depending on where you are located and the supply and demand, you could start as high as $2500 and take (or negotiate with is a better way to say it) the best offer which could be as low as several hundred dollars.
I would call out the black etched glass--which appears to be an art deco style--hard to confirm that because it pixilates a little on my machine--but it appears to be a deco design, which could add to the value.
Post back how your sale goes!! Thanks for sharing!!
If this is truly a Hoosier, than you have a great piece of history. A piece this size , has asking prices in the $100's well into the $1000's. With so much history, a lot of people are using these pieces in farm house design.
If you are not sure who the maker of the item is please do not list Hoosier. You can say that it is a Hoosier style but that is about it. This is a great piece and the history there is amazing. I have not seen one of these in such a very long time. I remember visiting my great grandmother on the farm and she had one in her kitchen. It was a bit darker wood than the one you have but that could have been because it sat next to the wood-burning stove that she cooked on all the time.
