I bought it at an antique furniture store in Santa Cruz, CA for my daughter about 17 years ago
Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png)
This is a beautiful cherry wood twin sleigh bed by Drexel. It is stamped on the back 135 - 1 BED, TRAVIS COURT GROU.. (I can't read the last letter(s) of that word) BY DREXEL . I bought it for my daughter when she was about 17 at an antique store in downtown Santa Cruz. I forget how much I paid for it. Being English, I was unaware of the name DREXEL in antique furniture until recently. My daughter is grown up now with a daughter of her own, but she doesn't want the bed. I haven't got room for it. I am asking how much is it worth? It is well taken care of. How old is it?

Re: Drexel cherry wood Travis Court sleigh bed
Your bed isn't "Antique", the 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.

Re: Drexel cherry wood Travis Court sleigh bed
Thanks for your comment. Have you any idea how much it is worth? I thought anything older than 50 years is "antique" in California!! I did buy it in an antique store.
