Not quite to bed yet ;^)  But all very good leads.  So I have many more boxes coming in I think - plates, bowls, silverware. As a husband (smile) I dont really want to spend 20 years selling a fork or plate at a time.  Is there any bulk value here?  I dont want to step over all this Denby in my garage for themext 2o years

Thanks for all the replies and assistance.  The stamp shows Denby England and here is a shot of the silverware.  We still have to go thru a bunch of dinnerware boxes.  More pictures to follow.  My wife believes it all very valuable (ie worth much time itemizing and selling on ebay).  Im not convinced the time and effort are equal the work that will be involved and lean more toward donating to a collector ;^)  value is always relative to the buyer - juts want to make sure we dont actually have a few sought after pieces as we begin to open all these boxes.

So we inherited a lot of Denby dinnerware (thought to be 40s-70's).  I am having some trouble finding any Denby-specific forums and information on valueing it.  Ebay a little help but not much.  Can anyone point us in the right direction to getting started determining if any of these many pieces have value?  Many thanks!

Thanks everyone.  Im prone to believe you guys the experts.  My grandmother just always called it "here mother's".  It does have wooden wheels as well.  Im glad to hear its restorable.  I would like to get it into the hands of someone who could use and enjoy it.  Thanks for all the info!

We have an armoire from early 1900's (my grantmothers mother's).  Im embarrased to say that after many moves with it and exposure to (gulp) children its been a bit messed up.  Right door came off hnges but we still have it and the hardware.  Any ideas of type, value to restore, etc?  I could not find any markings on it.  Only sure it was around before my grandmother was born in 1913.  I want to try and get it to some one who can revive it or at lest make good use of it.  Thank you.
