It was built by Kay, probably in the late '40s. It's one of their lower-end models and probably wouldn't fetch more than $150.

...which I believe was made by Kay. $100-$150, tops.

I believe Sherwood was a brand used by Montgomery Wards stores. They bought mostly from Kay and Harmony, but like Mark and Noah have said, this one was made by Kay in Chicago.

Sherwood was indeed the house brand for Ward (before they changed it to Airline), but this model was sold under a variety of brands.
