Need some help with these cabinets

[david_l]

Greetings friends,

I’m going through my stuff and I need some help with these. Aside from knowing the subjects, I don’t know anything about them. I’d love to know the approximate year, maker, and value.

.
The Heenan has me confused. It’s pretty thin. Maybe like a thicker image from a cabinet card. I have no idea.

The Sayers cabinet is cool but I know nothing about it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Is the Sayers a cabinet or a CDV?

The Heenan looks like an older second generation photo

Thanks so much.

I would say the Sayers is a cabinet as it’s larger. In fact, it’s slightly bigger than my other cabinet cards.

Any guesses on value? I hate to bother you on this one but I have no idea.

The Heenan image is a pirated image (2nd gen at least) of a Wood cabinet. I can't really speculate on value since I am not sure of its age.

The Sayers looks like a 2nd generation pirated cabinet, no maker specified. Hard to value these; maybe $100?

Awesome. Thanks so much. I really had no idea.

Pricing cabinets is really art, not science. I've handled a lot of them for resale in the last two years and prices have been all over the place. Some you can pretty much gauge, like the common Sullivans or Corbetts, but ones like this, could be $25 or $250. No way of knowing except to list them for sale.
