Well, it cost you $0, so anything above that would be profit.

I'd call it a vanity bench and sell it for $10-25 and get it out of the house. The leg on the right looks bent?

They were popular in the 1950s-70s, along with french provincial furniture.

Thanks for the reply, legs are fine.

It's a bench.

Fair value is what you can get for it.

I can get $40 scraping the bronze, but I still can't find a picture of one on the internet.

Could it be patio furniture? (I have no idea!)

Is this similar to yours?

Here is a link that might be useful: Ebay listing - is this similar to yours?

justlinda ... his bench is a modern imitation of the eBay one.

Bronze-colored castings screwed to steel is not an antique construction method.

Call it "Hollywood Regency" and see what you can get for it in Craigslist, not a yard sale.

It's the sort of bench that stylish women of the 1950s would have placed at the foot of a bed, if it's too big to be used in a vanity.
