Michelle can you post some pictures?
Is there a design or pattern, like morning glories or something?
Is it chased (design stands out and is bubbly)
Is it Martele? Heavy hand-hammered silver.
Silver solder is more expensive than tin solder. And ad...
Hi, Interesting piece of jewelry. I would say that it is a miniature scepter rather than a baton. The charm you call a hat looks like a medallion; is there any writing on it? Can you describe in more detail what the item is at the end of the chain...
Without the dimensions there isn't much anybody can say about your bowls. I'm guessing that they are berry bowls, but they could be candy bowls or even centerpiece bowls.
Since you don't want my input I will tell you that your answers lie within t...
Those dolls are cute! I note they all have brown hair whereas Japanese/Chinese and most Asians have black hair. Their eyes and eyebrows don't look Oriental either. I would guess they are from a middle European area, Turkey, Yugoslavia. They look q...
Hi Terry D., I read a bit in the following link which I believe answers some of your questions. Date 1860-1910. I have no idea what its' value might be; I am not an appraiser.

How big is that gold round object and where in your decanter or cruet is it located? On the bottom, sides, what. Could it be a sticker with the name on it? Your other pictures are out of focus. Vicki told you it wasn't a "bottle", yet you continue...
Sue, It was I who gave you the directions for posting a picture, not Craig. As for the name, yes you will have to remove the clothes.

If you Google Numistamp you will find over 6,000 hits. Here is one of them. http://www.montreal-universal.com/products-1330-5-cents-1913-Numistamp?query=&cat=738&page=0
It shows the 3 oldest nickels (but not the Jefferson), each separately is $2....

John, you ask if this is an art nouveau lamp; can't see enough to say. Can you take some more pictures of the whole light, give dimensions, type of material, etc.
The last letter could be a "y" but it could also be a "9" or a "q" or an "r"
I've been looking at over 6,000 hits of "Egyptian Revival" "back lamps". Haven't seen anything close yet. Problem, I think, is that a lot of the lamps were made in France and Austria for European wiring, which is different from US AC/DC wiring and...
There are 7 letters in the name on the lamp; Piefre only has six. Maybe it's Pieffre. Sometimes the "f" and "s" and "l" look alike. So it could be Piesfre or PiefsreIt could be Pflefer or Plesser or Plesffer.
You have a table lamp or back lamp, and since TV arrived, they are also called TV Lamps. Yours is from the Art Deco period, 1920-1939. If you will google "back lamp" "art deco" you will find thousands of hits and possibly can find one like yours. ...
It appears you have two documents, an Abstract of title and a Will.
The Abstract of title states who has owned the McK residence, if there are liens against it, or suits and judgments. Anybody can obtain an abstract on any house owned by any famou...
I thought I corrected that! It doesn't have a black mustache.
How's this grab you??? I am guessing that somebody goofed. I believe the picture IS NOT C.L. Bradlee, but her sister, Abigail Ann Bradley, who was born 11/09/1821 and died 2/07/1847 at age 26.
Her sister, Caroline Lydia, was born 5/25/1827 and di...
I can't see what you're talking about, "gold salts". In marbles and some other glass products they add mica flakes which sparkle like gold. I think they call it "lutz" or "mica lutz". The metal looks like it could be silverplate or sterling, but i...
I have the book Vicki refers to and a look-alike "Coffee Server" is shown. No tumblers included. No manufacturer's name. It is depression glass, circa 1930-1940s. My book is from 1987, by Gene Florence and shows a value for the pitcher only of $55...
Les,
Here's a look-alike doll, by Rushton. Has a black (?) mustache. No price given, but might lead you to more info.

MARBLES SUMMARY FOR DEALERS
HI,
Dianne, IAO Editor-in-chief has asked me to write this Forum for the dealers. I am not an expert, but I have studied marbles intensely, have sold some on-line and spoken by e-mail to collector websites. The following is what I have discovered.
Marbles have been around for centuries. On line there are many, many websites devoted to marbles and history and some with prices. Glass artists today make beautiful marbles (small paperweights) and they sell for $350 and up. There are marble clubs an… Continue

Deanna C. Kennedy said… - Hi, Tom --- Thanks for the advice. I haven't yet nor will I clean it now. It is fairly clean on it's own. My son brought it home. All of the lettering and numbers on the Quarter are still very raised and clear. My best guess as to why it ended up in my son's change in such really good condition is that it was someone's saved coin.... a sign of the times maybe.
Thanks Again! Deanna C. Kennedy

- Hi Tom, Thank you for telling Ryan Marsden that his post requesting identification of 2 vases more appropriately belongs in the Whadjafind Group. I have just been made the "moderator" of the I Wanna Buy Group, but feel a little at loss in keeping it organized and logical without any edit capabilities. Regards, Karen

Victoria Benson said… - thanks, I'll try it. I cleaned it with dawn dish soap & it's beautiful. From what I've been reading I wasn't the only one disapointed with the "Road show " event here in Denver. Oh well.

- a bunch of I'm sure tired but rude apprassers. I am so disapointed. I was really counting on someone telling me once and for all "it's a great find!"or "it's a dud!" At first maybe i thought it was just me, back when I left Iwas sitting out front of the convention center, and so many people where up set & just as dissapointed as I was. But here's a run down. My friend had a brass slave neck piece that he bought in a box of junk at an estate sale. So many people asking him about it. I took my little green snuff bottle, I was right, It is jade, but it doesn't have the top part that pulls the cork and little spoon out, so it's only worth about $40-$45. I was just happy iI knew it was jade. I had my friend take my painting, signed FX McDonald, Mich. 1889 as his secound item.(Thats was how he was paying so to speak for the ticket I gave him) we were allowed 2 items per ticket. Never even showed it to anyone because I was so made at the way I had been treated. Waiting in line to get to the back was great by the way.Met allkinds of good people with some very interesting things. Ok now the rest of the story.lol I waited in line for the snuff bottle maybe 15 min. Then we got in line for trible arts.(they tried to send my friend to metal works first) I sugested to the lady trible arts was the place he needed to go. Waited in that line for three hrs. WOW. When we finally got to show Mikes slave neck piece the man was confirming that all Mike's months of research was right. Then he said he'd have to research it some more. Mike and I got very excited, we're standing there, waiting to go do more research on it.... and the man looked at Mike and said his best bet would be to attach it to a nice piece for wood. Turn it into an art object, he says. That will make it valuable. Mike said to him "I thought you said you needed to do more research on it?" The man looked right at me and said "well if you have $200.00 an hour to pay for my services then yes, we can do that." I was confused and dazed by that remark. Mike was very heated under the collar. He went straight over to the comment booth, left me standing there. So I wandered over to the jewelry line.Waited quietly for an hr, & 20 min. I handed the appraiser the bracelet, not sure what to exspect. He said hi after holding it, turning it over a few times. Then he started to smell it. He kept smelling it, looking kind of puzzled. I asked him what was he smelling for? (I'm thinking this must be a new way of checking to see what kind of metal this is. Something new, no one ever told me about) He said it looked like a craft bubble gum wrapper chain he used to make when he was a child. I thought it was like a prison chain necklace I'd seen at a friends house when I was in my teens. Anyway i assurred him it wasn't gum wrappers. I said I think it's gold! He turned it over and over in his hand and said,"yep! I think your right! It's worth about $20. I asked him way he came up with that amount for gold, then I said You didn't even ask where it came from or how I come to have it! He looked at it again, never with a loop or magnifying glass, both sitting on the table next to him. I leaned over to him and said, it was found on a hiking trip on the back side of Casper mountain, near a town called Eden. No change in his exspression. Then I said "no one has lived in Eden for close to 200 years and this was baried in the dirt. Then he looked up at me. Then I said, "my friend had stepped behind a tree to relive him self when he notice the dirt had a little shine to it. So he dug up the bracelet." I swear the man learned to read minds right then because I;m thinking "and you've been sitting here smelling the thing". Instead I told him that I was afraid to clean it because I didn't want to ruine it. I felt a little smile come accross my face. Then he really blew my mind. He said "well you need to clean it. If you clean it, it will bring the value up as high as $75. I asked him if he thought it was old gold? NOPE he says. Hippys used to buy these things for $15 to $20 at concerts back in the 60"s. Told me to have a nice day and then said "who's next?" I was so mad, confused, when Mike came walking back up with my painting ready to go get it checked, I told him I needed a smoke and I'm ready to go home, get me the you know what out of there. I wanted to go back and see if my little hands would fit around his neck!
I was counting on this to be either the end or the begining of some great excitement. This was not a confirm to me or the big bubble popper and it darn sure wasn't bubble gum wrappers.
Now you know the "rest of the story". So far you have given me good advise, and your thoughts on this thing have been close to what i was thinking but to afraid to say outloud. I know it in my guts there is more to this than 1960's concert jewelry.I have never seen anything like it. No I didn't take it to the school of mines, for the same reason I haven't taken it to an appraisser, I can't afford it. I put my home up for sale last week, praying it sells before they fore close on me. I have the worst, and weirdest thing happen to me, I swear. I only owe $3500.00 on my home. AUHHH!anyway thanks for letting me bend your ear. I'm open for advice, your thoughts, hell tell me I'm just crazy wrong about this. Slap some since into me! opps. signing out finailly. ( I know my spelling is bad, I just get worked up and fingers can't keep up with my brain)

Thank you so much for responding to my question in regard to the value of our WWI leather top desk. I've taken some pictures and measurements and will send them over to you. Should I just send them to your e-mail address directly and if so, could you confirm it for me? Thanks again! Marli
