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!

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!
