Globe-Wernicke Sectional Barrister's Bookcase?

I'm looking for information about the value of a Globe-Wernicke Barrister's Sectional Bookcase. It has a drawer at the bottom and 4 glassed book shelves. There is a small scratch on the finish (but not the wood) on the very top, probably from being improperly moved. I'd also like to know what "grade" means.

The labels indicate:

Globe-Wernicke Sectional Bookcase

Cincinnati

Standard D Square Top

Pattern 141

Grade 516 1/2

Base label indicates:

Globe-Wernicke

Standard C-D

Leg Drawer Base

Pattern 148

Grade 516 1/2

There is a signature on the pieces:

C.W. Pellett #22

I recently inherited this from my Grandmother. It belonged to my Great-Grandmother. I am not interested in selling it, but I do want to make sure it is properly insured.

Thank you for your help!

    Try here first:

    I don't know if you've seen this link (and/or the 7 or so pages that follow) but it has a ton of info, including that the "Grade" code refers to the finish and colour. Grade 516 1/2 means Mahogany, Medium Dark, dull finish.

    There is also several pictures from old catalogs which is interesting and has some good information.

    There's more information there but I'll let you finish - pardon the pun! ;)

    Reading a good booklet offers a richer experience and can leave you with recollections that can last years. Television is merely educational if you are viewing a documentary or something similar

    I've liked to read always. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't also enjoy TV. Throughout the day it is generally a booklet.
