My mother has an old iron bed in her basement. It is simply made. The head board is round with flat spindles and higher than the foot board. There is no ornamentation on it. I think one might call austere?? Can anyone tell me what it might be worth? :) :) thanks

You could try clicking on the following search and maybe find similar items to it that are for sale and come up with some kind of figure for what its possible monetary value might be.
