Paalman Furniture Company - tea trolley cart

[Jodet127]

Hello,

I found this item in the garbage and it is in pretty bad shape.  I started to work on this and I found a marking that said patented May 28,1918.

I have a picture of it on my blog.  http://mytatteredcorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/0051.jpg

I have it apart at the moment, I started working on the top not knowing how old this item is. 
I found the patent marking on the handle when I started to sand it down.
Since finding that marking I have not worked on it, wondering if this would be worth anything.
Besides the top being in bad shape, a small front wheel is missing as well and that looks like it was broke off.

I know this company is no longer in business with some of the research I have done.  Also it is to have a tray that is not with this item either.  I did find a picture of this item in great shape that I also put on my blog. 

Would this be worth anything?
