Question About Antique Umbrella and Picture

[MBatcho]

POSTED ORIGINAL IN WRONG PLACE SORRY

Hello all!

I am new to the forum and have a couple questions about some of my antiques. I have an OLD umbrella and an even OLDER picture that I have had for quite some time. I am curious as to how much they might be worth. I do not want to give how much I paid for them but I am looking to liquidate some things and these are first to go.

Please let me know...

OR

If you know a place I can take this stuff to get it appraised that will work too.

I live in Ohio and do not have any good antique dealers near me.

We need better pics if possible !!  2000 kb is the top size for this site so try that and need a good clear pic of the lettering !!  Umbrella,, need to see both open and closed !! Can`t tell much the way it is !!

What you have is a parasol rather than an umbrella. Reenactors love these, I have two! They are neat but not terribly valuable. Generally about $40 to $150 depending upon condition and how attractive they are. If you go to Ebay and search for 'antique parasol' you'll get a good selection to compare to yours.
