I have an approximately 40 year old solid brass bed. It was purchased somewhere in New York City for several thousand dollars. I am trying to identify the manufacturer or reseller of this bed so that I can purchase a few small items. I thoroughly examined the bed, but cannot find any markings.
Thank you.
I will upload few images later.

I would contact a dealer. With no markings it will be difficult to assign value
If there are no markings, you will probably have a heck of a time IDing it.
You can search eBay and other online venues to find (based on the look) similar pieces and price it that way.
Be sure to match it by size (it is a twin, full etc.)?
Is it in good shape?
You say solid, but that would mean the tubes are not hollow, and it would be extremely heavy. I have never seen one like that, but if that is the case, that could add to the value. Most are brass with hollow centers.
Brass is all over the price in value from $5 up to the hundreds.
Those that are high value are name brands with very intricate patterns. Yours is moderately intricate so if you don't have the patience to figure out what exactly you have, start it at $300 and take best offer.
Just from my knowledge, you may have to settle for $50 to $100 without any provenance if it is a twin or full and $100 to $150 if it is a queen or king...just because the second hand market for most everything is very soft at the moment.
Post back what you learn and if you sell and for how much.
Best wishes!
