You can find the furniture on store websites; IIRC, a loveseat's
about $1400. In range of moderate furniture prices.

The badge is worth 80%% of the chair's value.
The cookie jar lid is 80%% of the jar's value.
The book's dustjacket is 80%% of the book's value.
Santa Fe real estate.....or cookie jar lids? ;)
