I thought this was the still quite valuable and popular Context collection, 1963.

It is pixilated on my screen, hopefully better on yours. The two pieces sell in many places for over 1,000. Depends on the supply, demand, and condition. It could go as high as 2,000.

These are pre-coronasvirus prices. Who knows what the resell market will look like after everything shakes out.

Post back with what you learn!

I'm not sure but I believe there might have been some alterations/repairs to your chest. You do not show pictures of your dresser so I cannot tell if this is the original but I do not believe your chest is 'original'.

The only way to know for sure is to see if the Bassett stamp is in the top sides of the top drawers. Although they could be from another Bassett chest.
The original Bassett Context series only had one drawer at the top - not 2 drawers and all of the Context series (I have seen over 100 pictures (including pictures in the ads) and all of this series has the star inlay starbursts outlining the pulls. Your chest has an entirely different pull.

There are at least 2 different sizes of this chest - 4 and 5 drawer so their value would be different also.

No date on when this sold:

vintage-mc.com/.../bassett-context-tall-chest-mid-century...

attic-dc.com/.../vintage-mid-century-frederick

Due to the financial condition of the world right now it would impossible for anyone to offer advice on value.

I believe you should make sure your chest is all original before you list it as such.
If you could check for more Markings in drawers and back and post pictures then someone may be able to offer better advice/recommendations.
It would be nice to see pictures of the dresser also.

This is an interesting piece so I wish you good luck with selling - but maybe wait until everything is going better for everyone.

For one of your pieces on etsy is going for $550.00 + shipping. Also on this site - vintage-mc.com/.../bassett-context-tall-chest-mid-century... - highly sort after pieces!
