« on: December 21, 2011, 06:35:16 pm »

I found these 2 old coins and i am pretty certain they were peace dollars as i can make out the outline on one of them still, just wanting to get some opinions and any information on there value in this condition. I assume they are only worth there value in silver in this shape but im not sure what that value would be.

Antique Questions Forum / depression glass pitcher? help identify

« on: December 21, 2011, 06:29:05 pm »

I am having trouble finding any information on this exact piece. there is no markings to indicate company that made it and its not block optic because the blocks are the wrong size... the blocks are big at the top and get smaller and closer together towards the bottom. i have included 3 photos if anyone can help identify any information on this piece or pattern and possibly its value. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Antique Questions Forum / Help with information on oil lamp "gone with the wind"

« on: November 10, 2011, 09:58:20 pm »

I work in the business of estate sales so i see alot of antiques but i dont know alot about them. my boss told me that this lamp is from the 1880's or 1890's and is a gone with the wind style lamp. it is hand painted and is marked "The Meteor Lamp made in USA" on one side. it is an oil lamp and is supposedly worth a decent amount. if anyone can tell me more about this piece or maybe a guess at the value it would be appreciated.
