Thanks for the reply Cogar... would you have any idea how much the sandstone water troughs could be worth ? I've tried finding info on the items i have posted here but unfortunately i cannot find much information relating to age or value.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

The wheel is flat on both sides, i do presume it is a grinding wheel.

Would be interesting to find out what the others are about also.... i've tried looking everywhere but to know joy !

Hi Everyone, my nan is coming to live with me so we have been clearing the things she wants to keep and others she has no real use for. We have decided to sell things online but some of the items are difficult to find out about.

I am looking for some help so if anyone could help that would be truly wonderful.

The first two photos are from a painting, i can't make out the artists names although i think it could possibly read W. Matthews. The frame is from Ruskin in Birmingham but that i all i know.

The other two photos have not much background info unfortunately, the photo of the side table [i think it's a side table] photo 4 has been brought through the family for possibly over 100+ years. My mothers mothers, mothers table i think.

The ruskin vase all we know it was produced in 1915.

The grinding wheel we don't know anything about, nor the sand rock Troughs.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
