[CBQ] antique full-scale CB&Q boxcar doors

["chris p" <dontbesojumpy@yahoo.com>]

(i sent this to the address as an actual email, but i am not sure on the 
process so i will post here as well). 
Hello, I am with an architectural salvage company and we have come across 3 
antique wooden boxcar doors. They are a darker red and say "Everywhere West" in 
white.

These are the wooden-slat exterior sliding boxcar doors, and I am starting to 
think they came off of an XM28 model car. I believe the are similar to the era 
of this CB&Q 1920s boxcar photo viewable on this link:

Do you have any info on the era/age such wooden doors would have been 
used--with that slogan? I am trying to circa date the doors within a decade or 
so. Is that color what they called "Chinese Red?"
More importantly--do you have any clue to the value of such a thing? Or do you 
have any advice on resources where we could establish a value range for antique 
wooden boxcar doors?
Any help is appreciated as this is outside the scope of our expertise.
thanks,
Chris
