Apparently, not the most desirable item in today's market...at least in Texas: ;) http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/9586315 (http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/9586315)
Yours is a little more stylish, so it might be easier to find a buyer for.

 $50. to $75. would be what I would expect it to bring !! Not many want that style !!

Are you buying it or selling it? 

The big questions is how easy does it work....pulling it in and stowing it away.

I think this is the fold out kind not the trundle type !!  For families with a bunch of kids in the 30`s,, these were handy !!

I had to hit enlarge because the pics won't open up.  Now I see.  This is what I knew to be a convertible day bed.

Another poster asked the same question here!

Not sure about this one but a few folded both ways to make almost same room as three roll-away cots !!~ It was a space saver !! Three boys or three girls would have fit to sleep !!
