Value estimate of antique filing cabinet

First project: flat file cabinet
My Dad is in the process of moving and wanted some information (primarily a fair market value estimate) on an antique filing cabinet he’s had for ~5 years. The single maker’s mark indicates that it was made by Yawman & Erbe Mfg. Co. in Rochester, NY. My Dad purchased it for $75 from a contractor he was on a job site with. The guy didn’t give any information about how he came to own it, how long he’s had it, or much of anything else. Based on some preliminary research, I believe it to be 100-120 years old - I have no concrete proof of its age though. I took photos from all sides and of each drawer mostly open - hopefully they are clear enough. The overall dimensions are 27.25“L x 14.375“W x 52.5“H. Each drawer measures 12.25“W x 8.5“H.
We live in the central United States. I much appreciate any help!
