I am just wondering about this chair that I have owned for 5 plus years.

Value of items like this are difficult to state as you need a fairly recently sold item of identical (or very close) brand/condition/location.
Of course, you may never find one like yours so you just have to go with 'similar' items.
Right now, it seems the only single Murphy chairs selling very often are office style chairs - usually swivel.
Numbers on this type of furniture do not always mean very much as so many of these companies did not keep the best records and if they were ever available, no one seems to have access to them now. This just means you have to go by the style and features of the item.
I believe this style chair was sometimes called 'shaker style' as well as ladder back but usually without upholstery bottom.

I believe this chair has been listed for sale since before 12/2019 but not sold.
The condition of such furniture means a lot as most people are not looking for this type to refurbish - unless paying $5 at a yard sale.

if you want to try your hand at selling,you might want to try Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, offerup, letgo or any other sites you're familiar with. List it as 'pick up only'.
Start your price higher ($75-100) and lower it if no one shows an interest. You'll need good pictures and an honest description.
Can you please be a little more specific what you need to know?
You have a lot of info--it is a Murphy from KY, model number is on it. It is a ladder back chair.
Hard to tell from a photo because it is very glarey the type of wood...looks like they have been well loved.
Not sure what else you need. Maybe with more info, I can offer more details! Thanks!
Hi,
It all depends on finding the right buyer who is motivated to want this particular chair. I have looked on e-bay and found them listed from anywhere between $30.00 to $400.00.
The chair has an antique look and it might bring more if a few old antique pieces were sold with it, like a doll that looks antique along with a few other things.
