I have a boxed set of 4 approx. 5" tall cordial glasses. If I had to guess, I would say that they are silverplated as there is not a sterling silver mark on them and they are very heavy. The box that they are in is lined in blue velvet and the top inside of the box has "A.R. Rogers Silver Company" stamped in gold. I have been unable to find any information on this company. The glasses were found in Seattle, Wa. Can anyone give me any information on this company?

We have a piece that's sort of a lamp and sort of a picture. It's from the late 1940s or early 1950s. It has a large (about 6" wide), square, beige, painted metal frame. The frame surrounds a picture with small fluorescent tubes within the frame upper and lower to light up the picture. The picture is composed of colored glass cut into mosaic pieces. It depicts sort of an antebellum scene with a Southern belle and I think a tree and a house (I haven't looked at it in a while. It's in storage.) We want to donate it to an auction that will be held for charity but we don't know what value to put on it. We don't even know what to call it so that we can search for a manufacturer and get an appraisal. Our antique dealer has never seen anything like it. Can anyone give me information about this piece?

I have an old copy of the book "Bitter-Sweet A Poem By T.G. Holland. The book looks like it was hand made out of some kind leather. It was published by the Hurst Company of New York. There is no publishing date in the book. It was purchased at a bookstore that was in the downtown area on Washington Blvd about thirty years ago. I would like to know if this is a first edition and if it is worth something to somebody. Thank you.

i have a bowl that my grandmother gave to my mother. I know the bowl is at least 43 to 44 years old because my grandmother passed away in 1958. I think it is a casserole dish. It has a lid with a flower bud on top as the handle and the bottom has flowers around it. On the bottom is the markings GT the GT is in black and underlined. It also has numbering that i think says 51 - 710 and below that it has oven proof U.S.A. It is in excellent condition. Any ideas as to who made this is it of any value other than sentimental?

My grandmother gave me a set of china that my dad gave her while he was in the navy late 50's early 1960. It's a full service for twelve minus some tea cups and a couple of saucers that were lost in LA earthquakes. It has severing plates, serving bowls, gravy boat, large plates, small plates, cups and saucers, large soup bowls. He bought them in Germany. On the back it has Kutschenreuther Lelb or Gelb, I'm not sure, with a lion with the initials LHS from Bavaria, Germany, Favorit 8460 70. I would like to find out anything I can about the china or where I would go to find out more. Thank you.

HELP!! Recently I have inheireted my grandmothers belongings which were handed down to my Mom and now to me. I have several very old pieces of porcelin figurines. The one I am particularaly curious about is a Dresden Germany piece with two crossed swords just above the "Germany" below "Dresden" on the underside of the figurine. It stands approx 6" and is of a victorian type woman with a parot on her left arm, timy bird in her hair dressed in elegant lace clothing. The majority of the dress is flared from the low cut portion with what I can only describe as beautifully frilled and many folds and is entirely of fine porcelin very fin net weave that you can see thru. The fine work is can be described as if you were to take a very sharp needle an pierce a sheet of paper very, very close together...sort of like a mosquito netting....all porcelin. The showing part of the under dress is blue in color (robins eg) and a beautifuyl flower hand painted in the center of the dress just underneath the waist line. It is plainly visable that the handiwork is absolutely magnificent and very dainty. I know nothing of such things and if sombody out there is familiar with Dresden Porcelin Figurines and can provide me with some sort of price range to it's worth I would greatly appreciaate it. Of course, I know this is sight unseen and could only be an educated guess and I thank you very uch for whatever help you can be. Please email me at Clomnel*at*aol.com with any info you can share with me. Thank you all so very much! Mary Fulton

Hi, I would appreciate any help on information and value of two items. One is a Picture 27 1/2 by l8 on the back it says: Bald Eagle, Origina Plat Tone, Stipple Engraving, By Albertolli Ca l790 on the front left corner it looks like Gioc. Albertolli inv.,e Dis l790 or l792. In the right corner I believe it says Raf. Albertolli in. The next one is two Chinese Figurines carved out of Ivory. These figurines are 6 inches tall on there wooden stand. 5 1/2 inches tall without stand. They have been in my family for a long time and I was told they were carvings of the Emperor and Empress. These figurines are sitting in their carved thrones. Very intricate and elaborate designs on both. They have engraving on the bottom of the Ivory. Thank you so much, I have been searching everywhere! So happy I found this! Debbie

Inside you can see the following: Antonins Stradiuarius Cremonensis Faciebad anno 1721 (a symbol in the shape of a circle with an inner circle with the initials AS and a cross above them) Made in Czechoslovakia.

It appears to be handmade, has Israel stamped on the back edge with another mark or two two small to make out. It is worn. It is a silver oval pendant, the oval lying side-ways. In the oval there is some sort of materal, frosted-like that holds some sort of fluid, you can see a couple of bubbles. It appears to be an oil of sorts and gives the appearance of oil floating on water. Does anyone know anything about it? Sharon

I purchased a washbowl and pitcher several years ago at a garage sale. Recently while cleaning it, I noticed on the bottom of the bowl and pitcher is stamped Ironstone 1890 England. It is a cream and mauve color. The pitcher has 2 geese on each side of it. One with a blue ribbon around the neck the other a pink ribbon around the neck. It has a fancy type of scrolling design around the edges of the bowl and pitcher and at several points it looks almost like the top of a shaft of wheat in the design. I have gone to the library to try to locate a book that may have a picture of anything resembling what I have but I have found nothing on just Ironstone. Can someone make a suggestion on a book or an antique dealer that may be able to help me find out the history and value of my large washbowl and pitcher?

Hi! I picked up a Rogers Smith (New Haven, Connecticut) teapot at a garage sale years ago, and I know NOTHING about it's origins or worth. It's marked 2000 and appears to be silverplated (though I can't be sure). There are clawfeet on it (with a lion at the base of each foot). Some of the triangular designs remind me of art deco sconces, though I'm not very well versed, so don't assume I know the year! Any info about this (including it's approx. worth) would be greatly appreciated... thanks! D~

I have a vase that I found in 1962 - old looking at that time. It is white with gold design. There is a windmill in the center (about 3 inches tall) with a house to the lft and three smaller windmills in the distance to the right. There is a pond in front of the large watermill. All around this picture is a desigh and then there are flowers on each side. It is approximately 10 inches tall. In all has a background of white, and the pictures /designs are in shades of blue. The bottom has a house (similar to something painted with a water color brush in blue and a signature under it.I can not read the signature, but after it on the next line is a capital B. both the signature and the B are as if they were done a water color brush. There is also a number stamped (imprinted) across the signature which seems to be 3001. Where does this come from, and is there any value to it? It is really quite pretty. It is crackled from age, but I use it each summer for flowers.

I have an "old"? butter churn -- on the outside in blue is printed a faded 4 - which I understand means 4 gallon. It has a handle on one side and below on the other side a cupped handle -- It also has a double circle on it with an Indian head in the center -- "faded". Please advise if authentic and whether or not it is worth anything. Thanks Joann Frye

This glassware does not have the standard I.D. markings of the Thorpe name, although the etching looks like her work. I purchased the vase because it was beautiful and the price was reasonable.

I've inherited my father's mighty "Globe-Wernicke" desk. It's top is 5'x7' and has a center drawer (23"x3"), 3 13"x5" drawers on the left, a 13"x5" drawer and 13"x11" file drawer on the right. It has bronze handles and i beleive it is made of oak. He obtained it from a friend in the 1950s. It's brass tag on the center drawer reads "The Globe-Wernicke Co. Boston". I have searched on the internet for this company and possible examples of the same style, but have only found bookcases. I have found different listings for the company, but the location is Cincinatti. I am very curious in the history of this desk, for it holds deep sentimental value to me. Any information will be greatly appreciated!!!!

A few years ago my parent bought a estate and with that was a old case of silverware in need of a good cleaning. Nobody wanted to mess with it, so I took it and began to clean it up, my husband and I discovered that the silverware dated in 1803-1847. We were very delighted, because we did not realize the age of it when we took it. It was given to us if we wanted it, so now it is ours to keep. We were wondering what this might be worth if were were to sell it. The inscripton on it is 1803 Rodger Bros IS Adoration with a design that has a leafy pattern possible tomato with a royal emblem. It is beautiful. The patter appears on the back and on front towards the bottem of the handle, and again at the top of the spoon. It has a border edge on the front handle, It is quite a large set. The box could not be saved because of water damage, and nothing could be salvaged on wording or anything. Please send any information you may have.

I am looking for information on an old oil painting my grandmother has. It is approximately 18" x 12, with the an ornate gold frame, approximately 4" wide. The painting is signed "C.M. King 1885" and the back of the frame is stamped "Thayer & Chandler Chicago Patent 1884". The painting has never been restored and is in very good condition. I think the artist was local, and probably had the picture framed him/herself. It is a lake landscape with beautiful, rich fall colors. Anyone with any information or leads, please contact me via e-mail.

The glass of the picture is of the late 1800. The woman must have been painted on after the back ground print was done, because there is a effect that makes her image jump from the print as you move and look at it. Any info would be appreciated

Yesterday I attended an estate sale in the Pacific Heights District of San Francisco. The house was a very grand Victorian with furniture collected from the 18th and 19th century. I fell in love and purchased a rocking chair but the curator of the estate sale did not have a date or idea as to when the rocker was made. I will try to best describe it to you... 1) 3 Curved back rests with the cente of each curve pointed upwards. 2) Dark Mahogoney Wood 3) Two finials on the top of each side of the chair in the shape of 2 eggs with a circluar cap on the top. 4) it is a low seating chair with the seat only 24 inches off the ground. 5) The closest to a label on the chair is a thick red cross or "t" on the left leg. I know that picture speak a thousand words and I do appreciate anything you can do to help me locate the chairs origins.

(June issue) It is different in that the background in the magazine is beige in color and the background in mine is white. Also, under the artists signature is the address of a New York City recruiting station. Can anyone tell me if this (mine) has any value and if so, how I may go about finding the right person to talk to. Thanks for all your help.

On the top there is two long doors and two small doors. It has a roll down door that is under the two short doors I believe it is a bread drawer. It has a flour bin on the top part also. The bottom part has the slide out counter, enamel, and the bottom drawer is a slide out. On the bottom part thedre is also 4 drawers. Can you tell me a little bit about it? I have several antiques.

I have an old phone. This is the info I have on it. 1927 - Demi-Automatic set model D-08 The first dial telephone. In the twenties Copenhagen Telephone Company Ltd. (KTAS) realized that due to increasing number of subscribers and calls it was necessary to modernize the telephone system in Copenhagen. The solution was the so-called demi-automatic system that was characterized by the fact that in stead of asking for the name of the exchange you want, you simply dialed the two first letters in the name, for example "NO" for NORA and "VE" for VESTER. Notice that originally the dial was not a part of this telephone - rebuilding of older phones was the order of the day. This model was introduced in 1908, the dial was fitted on from 1927 and the last telephone of this model was taken out of service in 1978, when the last demi-automatic exchanges ØBRO and TRIA were closed. The set is Danish and manufactured at Telefon Fabrik Automatic in Copenhagen. I don't know much about antique phones. Anyone got any ideas on the value? Oh by the way, the phone is operational.

I was wondering if you could give me any information about a recent item I purchased. Its described as a Crowley Portable Altar made by Mowbray and Co of Oxford Lodon. Only has partial contents. Interior is red velvet and intricately carved lid interior. The seller told me that it belonged to an army chaplin who had used it during the second world war to administer the last rites to soldiers on the beaches of Normandy. I was wondering if you knew if the original manufacturers are still in existence, approximate value and any associated history. Thank you for your time Neil Woollacott

I just purchased at an estate auction an aluminum pistol, and it appears to be from some type of shooting gallery. It is 6" in length, 4" tall. On the gun is embossed PAT. OCT.7,24. Coins are inserted in the top of the gun and shoot out the barrel. There are two pivot points approx. 1 1/2" from the front. The gun has heavy-duty construction appearing to be for commercial use. The gun is fully functional. If you have any information on identification or value of this item, please email. Thanks!

I have inherited a silver chest with silverplate set by 1881 Rogers...it has a tag that states it is a Life Magazine premium. There is no indication as to the pattern but it looks quite art deco with a beaded band near the bowl/tines, and a sort of "snakeskin" or tiled pattern near the center of the pieces. On the far end of the handle there is no decoration and it's end is flat, not rounded or carved. Any help identifying this pattern would be appreciated.

I removed old web-type material and black leather from the seats as they were deteriorated and had large holes. I want to restore the chairs to their original design. Does anyone know what might have been on the seats of these chairs when they were made? Thank you for any help you can give on this matter.

I purchased a violin at an auction. Inside it has parchment paper that has the following: nicolaus amatus'cremone Hieronymi Filii Fecit AN16 Repaired by Joh. Fr. Hotz Mittenwald 1875. I had it repaired and the man said the markings inside indicated this violin is around 250 to 275 years old. Is there anyone out there that knows anything about this violin maker.

I like to see if I can found out the value of a figurine that was given to me by my mother before she passed. It was made by "fontanini"; inside is a description in Italian; it is a music box but I can't identify the song, only know that it is an Italian song; it has two figures on it: a young girl and boy holding tamborines with arms linked on a base of what looks to represent grass and a tree trunk. The bottom base appears to be made of cherrywood. The colors are somewhat muted on the figurines. Any info on this is appreciated as I also have two separate figurines on marble bases made by the same company.

I would like to know if anyone knows about that object that I have. It's a kind of rond candy box with à cover, it is made with glazed earthenware with some motif of birds (swallow) painted in dark blue and gold filled. The maker signed it - it was mad in Belgium by H. Bequet and it is written underneath Quaregnon 505 XX. I know it has been in the family over 60 years. If anyone has an idea how much it is worth or have any info. on this matter please let me know. Thank you from Montreal

I have a square 1-cent stamp holder, maybe silver or pewter. Since it says STAMPS on the front and has a 1 cent logo, I'd assume it's pretty old. Any idea how much it's worth or does anyone else have one like it I could buy?

My aunt had it appraised 15 years ago and I have no idea of its value today. The bottom reads Sam L. Alcott & Co Nami and her daughters in law numbered 157 with a diamond with a large R in the center and different letters in each corner of the diamond. I was wondering if anyone knew of this company and if so a possible value of the water pitcher. Thanks so Much

I have two items which I definitely feel are quite old. One is a "Donkey Bottle/Decanter which has a makers mark which might be from England. donkey is grey with green pants sitting on a large brown chair, with his legs crossed. Makers mark includes a wreath, crown and a coat of arms. My second item is what appears to be a Chinese/Japanese serving dish. It is hand painted over porcelain. Very colorful, no makers mark, appears very old. Can anyone out there point me to where I might find out what these two items are? Thank you in advance for your assistance. If you would like to see them go to eBay Bottle is Item # 1132868538. Serving bowl is item # 1423852028.

I actually have 3 questions: 1) I read a post from 1997 in this guestbook regarding some vases with EPC (electroplate) and a picture of a guy with his tongue sticking out, a crown, and the double L and a stamping of 298...I have the same markings but my piece was used as a cigarette holder for a dinner table and there are several individual ashtrays that match the holder. Can anyone tell me who made these or when? 2) I have a small budvase that I thought was silver, but now I'm not sure what it is. It is 3 3/4" tall and ornately carved with beading around the base. Underneath the base is a stamped number 2385 and a hand scratched number 495...in the very center of the base deep inside is a hand scratched (what looks like) capital "A" and a small crooked little "n" or "h". It's pretty but don't know where it's from or what it's made of, any ideas? 3) Lastly, I have a small oval card tray (maybe a salver) that is approx 7" x 4" with beading around the edges. It has a blank shield in the center with what looks like 3 rosettes at the top and a long string of leaves wrapped around the shield and the rosettes. At the bottom it has a ribbon with a bow in the middle. This is some kind of silver because it does tarnish...some of the beading and the crest are a permanent mauve color. It sits on 4 ribbed feet. There are no other markings anywhere on this. Can anyone help identify this? Thank you, Kathy

Hi, I recently acquired 5 different pieces of silver that appear to be from a set. One large (fruit?) dish, a smaller bowl, two cigarette ashtrays that also have a round tube for holding an extra cigarette, and a nut dish shaped like a curvy heart. All but the second bowl have beaded edging. I have been told that it is around the art deco, art nouveau (?) period so 1900-1930 something. The stamping is three crowns set like a pyramid. Please let me know if you have any idea who may have manufactured this type of product. The silver is over a copper base, any information would help. Thanks!

Being a big Elvis Fan, a friend recently gave me an "Elvis" Gift.....It has been unopened and I believe it is a record album, on the front cover it says- Legends of American Music-Elvis Presley-United States Postal Service-Commemorative edition. On the back it says Elvis Commemorative Album Item 9914. ...... I had never seen or heard of this item before and do not want to open it up--which would decrease its value. Does anyone know anything about this item??

How can I verify the date of mfg of a Koken barber chair? The base and arm rests are porcelain, metal work seems to be nickel plated, handle pumps chair up and releases hyd to lower, it also has a position to allow chair to rotate 360 degrees, and another to allow chair to recline. There is a band around to of base pedistal for a U shaped device to mount that holds a stool for the barber to sit on and move from side to side around chair. If anyone has any knowledge of the age of this chair or value please contact us. THANX RICH

I recently picked up an old piece of silverplate at an estate sale. The piece looks like some kind of gravy boat or something, but a name and date engraved on the bottom leads me to believe that it was perhaps given as some sort of trophy. My research of the marks on it tells me that it was manufactured by Gorham in 1926 and that it was electroplated. There is also what seems to be a serial number and a "4 oz." marking. Does anybody have an idea what something like this might be worth? Does the "4 oz." mark represent the amount of silverplate on the item? The inscription reads "Mark Hopkins 1926." Any idea what that might refer to? Thanks.

Hi Norma, I have a rather large collection of all types of antiques and need to find out the value of them.I have been searching on line for some answers, and can't make the right conection to find out. I was trying to find out about this old brass and copper coffee perk pot when I came across your site. I hope you can help lead me in the right direction. this is the discrption: Copper pot stands 14" tall on 3 brass legs,2 brass mounted wood side handels,glass bubble insert in the lid,at the bottom of the 3 legs is a copper flat burner w/ a copper cap for the fuel. The coffee basket inside reads "UNIVERSAL"No.06 LANDERS,FRARY & CLARK, NEW BRITAIN,CONN. And pat'd numbers from May22,04 GRIND COFFEE MEDIUM FINE It's a beauty, and probably still makes good coffee! Thank for your help and your time, Barb p.s.......sorry I forgot, it has a little faucet w/ wooden handle in front.

Can anyone give me an idea of the age of an old picture frame I found in my grandmother's attic. It is an oval, wooden frame with outside dimensions of 24"x18 1/2". I believe the adornments are plaster and are (at the top)an eagle with a shield on its chest and a banner at its feet that reads "USA", (at the bottom) are 2 American flags crossed and draped and gathered in the middle. It has a gold painted? finish.

I have a Schumann teapot (6 1/2" tall with lid) and a saucer (7 1/2" diameter) that has various 1" flowers on them. The teapot is stamped in green ink with the following: Bavaria - Schumann - Germany - US Zone - US Standard - Design13 Schu,. In gold ink, the number 06 or 90 is stamped. Molded into the pot is the numbers 025/3. The plate has the same green ink stamping with the number 39 stamped in gold. I noticed that where there is usually gold trim, it is painted brown. Is this just a cheap copy??
