Hi Miriam,

This is a Kestner doll head. The Kestner doll company started producing dolls in the 1820s and produced dolls until approximately 1938. The earlier dolls were only marked with a number or size. They didn't mark with a mold mark and Made in Germany until later.

Your antique Bisque Doll Head is worth between $30 and $45. If the eyes were still place it would be worth between $65 and $110.

Hi Barbara,

You have a very beautiful piece but the estimated value here in the states is between $1500 and $3000. That is the range for very similar antique Chinese armoires.

There is one for sale exactly like yours in Melbourne, Australian asking price is $950.

Please see below:

Antiques are extremely hard to export from China now and in most cases it is illegal. This fact could increase the value.

Hi,

Your old style 1931 accordion is worth $40 to $100

Hohner once used different names or badges to sell their accordions and Capital was one of their badges. Turn the accordion over to see if \\\"Made by M. Hohner\\\" is painted on the underside of the treble keyboard.

Thanks,

Hi Brittany,

You and your husband have an antique gate lock, from the picture yours seems broken (the hasp is missing?).  There are many reproductions, but yours appears authentic.  Its probably from the mid to late 1800s.  They sell in the $50-150 dollar range, but since your lock isn't in the best shape, its probably valued in the lower end of that range.  

Here's a similar gate lock that sold in the past:

Hi Gregory ,

The Gold Coca Cola bottles are usually a anniversary bottle or a commemorative bottle. The estimated value without seeing a picture of the bottle is between $20 and $40.

Hi Kelly,

Without more information like a photo or a description of the material the pill box is made from (silver or gold), its pretty much impossible to narrow down a price range on your pill box.  I've seem gold and silver pill boxes sell for thousands of dollars from the era and I've also seen simple tin ones sell for around $10 dollars.

Hi Robert,

Your clown dolls do not look real old to me, maybe from the 70s or 80s.  I would say they are probably worth around $5-10 dollars a piece.  

Here are two larger clown dolls that sold for $10 dollars:

Your made in occupied Japan Maruni lacquerware dish is worth around $5-10 dollars and was probably part of a larger set of dishes.

Here are some similar pieces of Maruni lacquerware that sold in that price range:

Hi Keith,

I believe your Micky Mouse hanker chief is from the 1950s or 1960s and is worth around $10-20 dollars.

I've never seen the exact same one, but there have been hundreds of designs sold over the years.

Nude sun child Hutschenreuther figurines by Karl Tutter range in value from $125-250 dollars.

Hi Josey,

Hi Doug,

Your Shure Microphone was made in 1936 and the list price was $10. This is a very rare piece. One has been up for auction on eBay but no one was willing to pay over $450 for it. One did sell in 2007 for $327. In today’s market it would be value at $367. It had been restored and mounted in a wooden case. Your Shure Microphone is estimated between $150 and $250 in it's current condition.

Thanks,
