How much a 1965 Lane cedar chest is worth varies. Prices for a 1960s-era Lane cedar chest can differ depending on size, style, condition and other attributes, but you will likely pay between $200 and $400 (you may find an authentic Lane cedar chest for a bit less or a bit more depending on the aforementioned factors).

When the first iteration of the Lane Furniture company began to produce its now-famous Lane cedar chests in the early 20th century, the family behind the brand was unsure of how successful they’d be, so they initially didn’t bother adding their name to them. After securing a government contract during World War I, the company prospered and applied mass-production methods to its cedar-chest manufacturing. In 1922, it rebranded as the Lane Company and implemented a national advertising campaign to market its products, which led to a huge demand for its cedar chests that continues to this day.
