I have a 1945 and 1948 Lane Cedar chest. Both insides are in near perfect shape, except a missing shelf in the 48. Outsides aren't in the greatest shape but I'm sure could be repaired. Was just wondering if anyone had a general idea on their worth.

If I want to find out what an item is worth I usually got to eBay. In your case Lane Cedar Chest. I was really surprised to find quite a few listed as they are really heavy. The larger ones were mostly "Local Pick-up" . If you want a general idea of the worth of your chest I would suggest to do a "search" and compare with the ones listed.
You have Lane Waterfall Cedar Chests, they have inlaid veneer alternating pattern offset by vertical bands with a scalloped style base.
About the 1945 Lane Cedar chest.
About the 1948 Lane Cedar chest.
It was made in March 22, 1948. These chests were made in huge numbers.
1948 Lane Waterfall Cedar Hope Chest with an interior upper felt lined shelf, in good condition with a few surface scratches was sold on chairish.com for $293 www.chairish.com/
At a regular auction, the price will be even lower.
I think the price of your 1948 Lane Waterfall Cedar Hope Chest is about $100-150 (because missing shelf).
If the chest needs work, expect to get somewhere in the $150 range.
Try some Howard's Restor-a-Finish and/or some orange oil. The wood will come back to life.
