Quoted: Even with the imperfections, it would be worth considerably more with its original black patina.

Even so..
It was in unusable condition before..it was a real mess...
I can't sell it as it is a family heirloom.... that bed is part of my family history
Now at least it is usable..it will not be sitting, rotting away in storage for another 60 years.. and another generation will get some use out of it
I can stick it in a bedroom...I think someone in the family has pictures of the farmhouse and posibly of great (great just learned) grandpop... Would be great to put those on the wall next to the bed.
My mother has the matching miror and chest of drawers that go with it too...
So you see, the value is priceless to me....
Even though I was curious as to what it would go for as the antique refinishing guy was slobbering over it...
All that and I absolutely hate modern furniture...Basically garbage as soon as it is taken out of the box..
