Hi Gerald,

Your WW2 US Navy Hard Hat Dive Knife is considered a \\\"hard to come by piece\\\". I would estimate your knife between $300 to $800. A lot of the knifes that have been sold are missing the loop on top of the handle.

One sold in 2008 for $765, one in 2/2012 for $461.99, one in 10/2012 for $371.61 and one in 2/2011 for $300.

I have not found a current one for sale.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

Hi Chelsy,

I don't know how many plates you have or the gold karat, but I would put a estimated value per plate between $25 to $50.

A set of 12 sold in 1996 for $125. In 2008 a set of 12 sold for $330. The price does increase over the years especially with the price of Gold going up.

Below are some examples:

This set sold in 2011 but has a design in the middle.

Asking $45 for 1 plate doesn't seem as nice as the one you have.

Hi Barry,

Your cast iron toy dump truck is worth around $50-100 dollars.  I believe the toy was originally supplied with a small driver which I think yours is missing.  The truck with the driver sells for around $400 dollars.

Hi Adam,

Your E.W. Princess China Occupied Japan box which is considered a “Trinket Box” is valued between $5 to $15.

Hi Brandi,

Your Dixie brand stove appears to be from the 1950s and is worth around $1100-1500 dollars.  

Here's a similar one currently for sale in that price range:

However, I'm seen similar stoves sell for much lower values, here's a pink one that sold for $327 dollars:

Hi Chris, 

I would estimate that your German porcelain vases are worth around $60 to $100 dollars each.

Thanks for sharing.

I think they still sell them!

Here's one currently for sale:

I would say your Bernard Davis and company pot belly stove might not be an antique, but its still probably worth around $100-150 dollars, based on the current asking price for a new one.

Here's one currently or sale for $200 dollars:

1989 - Reuge Sainte Croix, Thuya Burl Wood, Treasure Chest, Cylinder Style, Plays Fuer Elise #3756, Swiss Musical Movement

It even looks like the same photo???

Reuge Sainte Croix music boxes typically sell in the $60-499 dollar range, so the $200 asking price for the above piece might be pretty close.

Hi Tammy,

Fully restored antique pedestal tubs sell in the $700-1200 dollar range.  I would say your tub is worth around $300-400 dollars in its current condition, but its hard to tell from photographs what needs to be done to fully restore yours.

Hi Lori,

I'm sorry but it doesn't look like depression glass to me...I would say your candy dish is worth around $5-10 dollars.

Hi Kinndra,

I think this one is out of my league!  I've never seen one like it...Here's a similar looking piece currently for sale for $33,000!

http://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/storage-case-pieces/buffets/portois-fix-sideboard-model-london-vienna-secession-1900/id-f_836079/

Just based on the workmanship seen your piece, your antique buffet table might be worth that much or more!  However, I would definitely get another opinion, because I really don't have the expertise to give you a valid appraisal.

Although relatively rare, there were probably thousands of photographs taken of the president and his wife right before his assassination.  Your photograph is also in very, very bad condition. 

If you find the right buyer, it might be worth more, but I would say your JFK photo is worth around $100-200 dollars.  If you or your family took the photo, it's probably worth more to you in sentimental value.

It's hard to tell much from the photograph, but I would guess the value of your antique armoire at around $2500-4000 dollars. 

It's a really nice piece, thanks for sharing.

Hi Shiona,

Your Moorcroft baluster vase, pansies on cobalt is estimated between $450 to $700. If it had a Ink signature the price would be over $1100

Hi Megan,

Your Black Forest Cuckoo Clock is estimated between $30 to $60 because of the condition. Others have sold for as low as $20. If you could replace or repair the case (if the works inside are original) it can bring as much as $150 to $300 maybe more. One just like it but in excellent condition sold in 2007 for $430.

I think it is worth repairing.

Thanks,

Hi,

Your Berkey & Gay dresser and chest together are estimated between $600 to $1200. I have not seen any of the exact same design but many with the similar design and quality.

The mirror alone can bring up to $180.

A dresser without the mirror sold in March for $750. The price has seemed to increase significantly since 2004. A very similar one sold in 2004 for $230.

Below are some examples of ones for sale and a couple that have been sold.

They are very nice pieces, I prefer antique over modern.

Hi Christine,

Your antique padlocks are called smokehouse padlocks and range in value from $10-100 dollars.  Smokehouse padlocks were invented in England, but it would appear your three padlocks are American.  I would say given the condition of your padlocks their estimated value is in the $10-20 dollar range for each one.

Hi Robby,

Without seeing pictures of your items in questions I can only give you a wide range estimate.

There are many designs for the Miller Time pool table light but most are selling between $30 to $230

Below are a few examples:

Your Spuds McKenzie lighted sign is worth $40 to $90. There is one up for auction now asking price $165

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-c-1988-Spuds-MacKenzie-Bud-Light-Budweiser-Beer-Light-Wall-Sign-/151063060168

The actual selling price is much less. In 12/2007 one sold for $79.99 another in 3/2011 for $49.99

Your Antique Barbers Chair can sell for as little as $100 and as high as $4,500 depending on the brand name and the condition.

Hi Deo,

Your typewriter certainly doesn't appear to be from 1912.  The 1912 models were much more primitive looking.  I would guess your typerwriter is probably from the 1950s and maybe it was patented in 1912.

Your Champion by Underwood typerwriter is worth around $25-50 dollars.  Here's one currently for sale for $33 dollars:
