Childrens items are ALWAYS collectible....does nt hurt that it is says Edison on it either!...you could get 300 to 500 dollars for it at the right auction.  You never EVER find those in the box....

your not going to like this but...not much if anything....sewing machines in general are hard to sell unless they are SINGER featherweights or childrens models.

Antique Questions Forum / Bohemian made porcelain

China is tough to sell....expensive to buy retail however...find a good quality auction house to consign it to but don't expect a lot of money...if it is really attractive though it may surpise you though!   The Bohemian attachment does not add to any collectibilty however.

Go to www.replacements.co m, they will make you an offer on your nice HR china.  The problem with china is there are literally millions of patterns by hundreds of manufacturers and its hard to sell retail unless you have a really popular pattern.

Antique Questions Forum / Wagon Wheels

Agreed...it takes a special buyer for old wagon wheels and you would be surprised by the number of covered wagons and regular buckboard wagons still in existence.  I have seen complet wagons go for 4 or 500 dollars...

That set could be valuable if it was made by Heywood-Wakefield...do a google search and see if it resembles HW furniture photos and also check for labels on the furniture.

Antique Questions Forum / Value of 100 year old LONGINES WATCH??

« on: September 27, 2006, 09:21:15 pm »

Pocket watches are not as collectible as wrist watches unfortunately..ther e are just too many of them...Longines is a great name however and it will have to depend on the size of the watch, condition, number of jewels, how many functions it has, and the gold content.

Older Video games that were built on the table top style are just catching on with collectors.  Ganes like Pac-man and Defender can bring several thousand dollars.   Lesser known games such as yours only bring a few hundred at best right now.

Antique Questions Forum / John Breuner Co. #497 1/2

« on: September 27, 2006, 09:14:46 pm »

The John Breuner Company was a prominent Northen California furniture manufacturer in the late 1890s and early 1900s.  Your desk sounds like a nice one without photos it is hard to make a judgement on value however.  It would depened on condition, wood type, style and other factors.  If it is a nice "fancy one" it should be worth at least 1800.00 though..just a guess mind you...
