Dixie Children's Bureau?

A small children's dresser.I wanted to know if this is authentic Dixie furniture and what it is worth. I have a matching desk and lighted hutch that is actual Dixie.

All genuine Dixie has their mark somewhere on the piece and usually always on the inside of dresser drawers.
Do your other pieces have the Dixie logo?
Your area and the condition of the pieces will determine the value of your pieces but I would not advertise the chest as Dixie unless it has the logo sprinted somewhere.

Your area will be a big determining factor in the value as freight shipping furniture is very costly and generally buyers will only pay for shipping when it is a very expensive item. Most sellers advertise their furniture as 'pick up only' which means the buyers would be in about a 50-60 mile radius of your home. Do you think that your area is good for this type of furniture?
The pictures do not show condition (except missing pull) and if it is not in very good condition then it will be of very little value.
It is difficult to sell furniture but condition is a big thing unless you are selling it for someone to redo or selling it as 'yard sale' items.

You could try listing the set at a higher price - maybe $450 and accept offers with pick up only. If no one makes an offer after several weeks/months then you can lower the price and wait again.

If this piece does not have the Dixie logo in the drawer or on the back (which I don't see) I am doubtful this piece is Dixie. Does it match the rest of the set exactly? If so, then it is possible it is...but here is my thinking.

Dixie was quality furniture and this piece--from the back, you can see the veneers and the construction does not look solid, like most Dixie pieces.

Was the piece painted to match the set?

Dixie is popular in eastern PA, not as much in Central PA and hardly at all in Pittsburgh. Not so sure about Erie and the Northern part of PA. I know most of the PA sales I see are on the far eastern part of the state--the closer to Jersey, the more it sells.

If you are selling it, you will need to state that one piece is not marked (if that is the case) and it also looks like the piece has mismatched pulls--which the pulls in this case, may be worth more than the piece!

You may need to piece out the items--you can try to sell as a lot, but most likely you will end up needing to piece them out.

Start high, and take best offer!

Thank you for your help. The other pieces, the desk with a hutch do say Dixie on them. I appreciate your information.

Authentic Dixie furniture has the Dixie logo carved in the inside of the drawers.

This is old furniture and not worth more than $300 for the set, at least where I live.
