Its a mantel clock.  In fact when I go to your link there are a few photos under the Google images section.   The 3rd clock is the same one I have.

So I took the drive to the antique shop.  They offered me between $75-$100.  I had some other items so I'm not positive the exact amount.   I would have taken it had I not received the info from you all.   I kept the clock and will figure out now if I will keep it or try again elsewhere.

Thanks again.   Tony

I saw that site but it looked like the rules stated that you could not ask for values of items in posts.

Thanks for the info.  There are no auction houses (or much of anything) close by so I have to rely on the internet to try and find values.  So I appreciate the info you all have to offer.  I didn't even think to look up the store that sold the clock.  That is very interesting information.  Thanks again.

I picked this clock up last year at an estate sale and just have it sitting around the house.   I'm thinking of taking it to an antique shop to trade for some items I'm more interested in.   I however know nothing about it.   Can someone help me out with an idea of what the clock is worth?  I don't want to go to the shop blind. 
Thanks for any help. Tony

I want to say there are 10 cups and small size plates.  There are only 2 of the serving size plates.  I don't remember the kinds of other piecse that are included but everything is in the picture. 
The ones with the other design on bottom just has the couple pieces. 

I really appreciate all the help.

My sister and I purchased this a while back.  We don't really know anything about it other than the fact that it looked old and neat.  The first 2 pictures are one one set (minus a couple large plates).  The second 2 pictures are of some loose items from another set that was mixed in.  We are probably going to sell this all.  Can anyone help us out as far as what a fair price would be and what exactly we have, if anything.   Thanks agian.

We were looking but could not notice any markings on it anywhere.  Any idea where they might be?  I guess I called it a chandelier but that might be the wrong name for it. 

Thanks agian,

« on: March 25, 2012, 08:38:51 pm »

Ok sorry but all I have is this one picture.  I took some others but they did not turn out.  This chandelier is in my grandparent’s house.  They moved in back in the early 1940 and this was in there at that time.  The house is much older than that.  It’s hard to tell in the picture but there are women in what I describe as Greek attire playing instruments.  I plan on heading to visit them again this week and can get more photos of any specific parts if it would help.  From the limited info and pictures I have, can anyone tell me anything about this?   Any idea what it might be valued at?

Thanks again

Tony

Yeah, that's what it is.  I just checked it out on Ebay and they have the same ones.  I would have never guessed that.  Thanks again, I knew I could count on this site for the answer.

Yeah it's green felt.  I was thinking some kind of burner myself but there are no black/burn marking on the inside.  The latch looks like it was made to have some kind of lock on it.

I was visting my grandparents this weekend and my grandmother gave this to me.  She said that she has no idea what it is or what it is worth.  I'm sure someone out there knows what it is.  It's about 6"wide and high.  The only markings I can read ore on the back side.  it has a 64 on both the bottom and top.  There is some kind of mark on the bottom but I cant make anything out.  Any information at all would be a big help.  It appears to be made of maybe brass.  Thanks again.
