Can Anyone Tell Me About These?
« on: February 22, 2010, 06:00:01 pm »
I've got three things here I'm wanting to know a little more about. Mainly just the value lol :P
  But on a serious note anything thing related to the certain item that could help me gain knowledge about it.
  I'll provide you with any information I have from the item + a picture.
Thanks.


               This has Mandalian MFG CO. Stamped on the inside. I believe it is a Mandalian Mesh Purse, Does this particular design have a certain value?


                These vases have "Hand Decorated 22-KT Gold" Marked on the bottom. Any ideas of the value, age, or manufacturer of these?


                 I believe the teapot is real silver since it is tarnished. Some readings off of it include: "Quadurple Plate" - "886" - " May 10 1898 or 1888 (I couldn't make it out for sure)" - "Rochester, NY" - "Pat'D" - "468" - "Van Berch Silver Plate CO."  Any ideas of the value?

   Not sure about the purse or the Vases, but the pot is a wonderful looking item, however it is not real silver, that is Silverplate, for the late victorian period.  Most silverplate items have only $.00 value to low $$.00 at best.  Yours is a very wonderful example from a not so popular silverplate manufacture.  I would say that the value would start around 25.00 and maybe reach as high as 50.00 based on the wonderful engraved design.

Mandalian enamel mesh purses = values range from $50 - $500
Here's examples of a few http://www.antiquepeek.com/mesh_purses.htm


No idea on the vases.

Agree with Ironlord on the information about silverplating and the company.  Might possible lower his pricing to $15 - $30 (IMO).
Takes a look at the set here http://www.the-forum.com/silver/HOLLOW01.HTM

Cool, I should have known about the tea pot considering it says it right on the bottom :D
Thanks for the information though and if anyone has anything on the vases let me know.

There were several makers of weeping gold.  The one that is most misused is McCoy.

McCoy - which theirs was called Sunburst Gold  http://reviews.ebay.com/McCoy-did-not-make-apos-apos-Weeping-Gold-apos-apos_W0QQugidZ10000000001493270

Mandalian Purses go for about $800-1500 USD depending on size & detail.
