Souvenir SpoonsSubmitted by: Nikki |
|
|
|
PLEASE HELPHi Tim . . . I have 15 sterling souvenir spoons dating from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. The detail work on each spoon is amazing. The oldest spoon has an engraving on the back of the handle that says Jan"10'91 and it is from Fort Snelling and Minnehaha Falls in Minnesota. The second oldest spoon is from the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893 (in Chicago). The handle is more worn on this one then the others. The spoons are from all over the Midwest and the West Coast with two exceptions; one spoon from Arkansas and one from the Empress Hotel in Victoria, B.C. They are all in very good condition considering how old they are. I was wondering if they are worth anything anything more then scrap sterling value. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Submit your estimate of worth |
Gulbransen Upright Piano (1920s)Submitted by: Jenn |

PLEASE HELPMy husband inherited a Gulbransen upright piano when his mother passed away. After some research I have done on the internet,I am guessing it was made around 1926.

Husband and I are curious of the pianos worth. Need to sell. Thanks, Jennifer Submit your estimate of worth |
antique bow back chairsSubmitted by: Greg |
|
|
|
PLEASE HELPWe have two antique bow back chairs that we would like an estimate on value for. They are in excellent condition. Attached is a photo. Thank you. Submit your estimate of worth |
Estimated Value submitted by |
|
| How do you know they are antique? Did you have a letter of certification from an antique dealer or seller? Many reproductions of Colonial bow-back chairs have been made throughout the early 20th century to present, as popularity waxed and waned. If your chairs are antique, they appear to have been refinished. Especially the seat area. If these were antiques the bottom of the chair legs would show definite signs of wear, i.e. the chair legs would not be flush with the floor, they would appear to be worn down at an angle due to dragging the chair out from underneath a table or just repositioning over the years. The most disturbing thing is the bright and shiny finish. One of the worst things you can do to an antique is refinishing it, as it effects the value. It is hard to tell from the photo, but the chairs appear to have been pegged - a nice touch in authenticity, but not proof of antiquity. Many makers of reproductions strive for authenticity. But, all in all, they are nice chairs and you should enjoy them! | |

The "shoes" have four words written on them, I can't make out the first two, but the latter two appear to say mercanized cotton. Lastly, the body is that of a cloth doll with everything sewn together. I would greatly appreciate any information you could provide regarding this interesting piece. Thanks in advance.

Estimated Value submitted by Tim |
|

Hi Daniel,
The iron cross was normally issued to Prussian and later German soldiers as a military decoration. Since the Iron Cross was issued over several different periods of history, it was annotated with the year indicating the era in which it was issued. Your cross was probably issued in World War I. Since your cross is too large to be warn as a medalian and it doesn't have a pin back (I guess you don't show the reverse side so I assume it's smooth), I'm fairly certain this is a funeral decoration. It either was on a memorial or fell off the casket before burial. As far as worth, I would say it might fetch $100-$200 dollars, but it could sell for more. |

Presidential TraySubmitted by: Denise |

PLEASE HELPI have been doing research on an item that came into our shop recently. The shop is Objects Found, a consignment and antique shop in Catonsville, Maryland. The item being researched is a very old metal (tin?) tray with pictures of the first 24 presidents on the surface. The tray contains an error, as it lists McKinley as the 24th president and does not list Cleveland as being President twice. I found the picture of the tray on your website. I have only been unable to locate information on this item at a website called Design Rocket, she is a private owner and is only showing others her pictures, and the Rare & Manuscript Collection at Cornell University. Can you give me any further information on this item? If you know...how rare is it? Do you know it's approximate value? Is it really circa 1897 even though the tray has the dates of Christmas 1901 and New Year's 1902 on the sides? We are trying to value it for consignment sale and any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated. It seems to be quite rare and we are very interested in learning more about it.

I've never seen one for sale but I would guess given it's age around $200-$300 dollars or more. It's all about finding the right buyer. Good luck selling it! |

|
| You can find these iridescent glasses in the published 1938 catalog of Dunbar glass, printed by West Virginia Museum of American Glass. In the catalogs, back then in the 1930s, "Aramis" name wasn't used; this nickname must have come later after the war, likewise, Porthos, Athos for other Dunbar glass sets....why three musketeers? Jack, any history of when your mum got this set? The catalog shows glasses and pitchers could be bought separately. When assembled together in the catalog, it is not this pitcher which is featured, but another which has a shape more like the tumblers--lots of horizontal ribs. There are other Dunbar tumblers which match your pitcher better. They started doing them in 1931 as featured in the 1931 catalog. | |

Hi Lorin,
You have what is known as a frozen charlotte/charlie doll made in Germany. They were produced from the 1860's to the 1930's and were meant to be played with while taking a bath. Therefore, they are sometimes called a Bathing doll. Your doll is not signed, which is not unusual for these dolls. A few german companies produced these dolls, including Conta & Bohme, King & Simon Halbig. What's unusual about your Charlotte doll is its size. At 14-1/2 inches, it's very large. A few Charlotte dolls in the 8 inch range have sold on Ebay recently for around $200 dollars, but your particular doll might be much rarer. Here are some examples of Charlotte dolls that have sold by auction: 11 Inch Charlotte Doll Antique Frozen Charlotte Doll Antique Frozen Charlotte /Charlie Doll Black Hair It's a beautiful doll and it has a unique history. Thank you for sharing it with us. |

I found one on ebay with a key and chain but it was sold. Submit your estimate of worth |
Estimated Value submitted by Tim |
|

Hi Tom,
They're pretty common locks. The oldest is probaby the smoke house padlock. It's the one with the brass keyhole cover and iron body. Smoke house padlocks were manufactured from the 1860s (or sooner) to probably after the turn of the century. Smokehouse padlocks run around $10-50 dollars, depending on the condition and uniqueness. Your smokehouse padlock is fairly plain jane. The brass padlock with a chain might have been used on a railroad, but it wasn't made for them directly. Good railroad padlocks are embossed with the railroad initials or name. This particular padlock is pretty common and would sell for $20-30 dollars. The tin padlock with the word EDWARDS on the front is probably from the 1920's or 1930's and was sold in either a dime store or a hardware store. I would value it around $5-35 dollars All my dad said was that they were common, but I've been hanging around him long enough to pick up a little bit. If you have any other questions about them or any other antiques, let us know. |
