Antique Questions Forum / Ambassador Silver

« on: September 27, 2011, 05:45:00 pm »

These were left to me by my father. They have ambassador sterling engraved on the bottom. Can someone recommend a fair market value or asking price? I would like to sell them. Is sterling silver the same as the silver in a silver dollar? Would it be worth melt value of silver?

« on: September 22, 2011, 08:31:42 am »

I'm trying to figure out the date of this high chair. It folds down to a rocking chair, has original brass tray and seat padding. I'm also looking for a resale value if anyone can help.
Thanks

I didn't 'Bing' or 'Google" -search for items like yours , trap121 , but I'd guess you'd get a quick idea from Ebay & such .... @ least you'll get to see what sim. items are being 'offered' for .

Nice vintage sextant , IMO , esp. with original case !

My last comment would be that it sure looks like your item could use a real good cleaning , oiling & checking tightness of all hardware ( will be worth more & show that 'regular' maintenace was performed on the sextant) .
Not unusual to see corrosion on such water-borne instruments , but it is undesirable (except to a buyer who could negotiate on that point) .

What kind of place can I take it to get basic maintance done to it?  I had no idea what a sextant was until a few hours ago when this was given to me.
