antiques need identified please!
« on: October 08, 2012, 11:17:11 pm »
My father passed away and I was left with some antiques. I have no clue what any of them are or where to start. Prices, Where to sell ect. If anyone could help me identify them and give me a average price or just scrap them? Thanks in advance

First of all we need better pics....we have no magicians on here...we can,t see under shelves..or rings that are out of focus...the copper container...has value, but until we get a better pic...to ascertain its size,condition..etc....it might as well be scrap...the ring is too close, we need to see it more clearly...is it gold, does it have a hallmark..as for the tear-gas....well, its just as well your there and i,m here,....for over here,...all they,d get you would be some serious porridge...time...

Ive googled and found out what it was. I've searched Internet for hours on the other things. Just hope someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks

Are you taking the pics with your phone ?? The pics are way too large to see !! I cant get them all to come up !! Try to take them with a digital camera and making them smaller !! Outside in daylight might give less blurry pics !!  We would love to help and the few I could see can be of value but have to be able to see them clearly !!

I think the lamp and shade if in good condition with no scratches or stains would bring $30. to $40.  Has a bit of a deco feel and many like that !!  Have you looked for a name on it ??
Can we see the underside of that bell ??  What was your fathers occupation ?? Bell looks quite different from those normally seen !!

do you think there's a reason for the spidery attachment at the top instead of a simple loop? utility or decoration?
