Hello everyone I'm new

[HistoryHound]

Hi! My name is Debra Thomlinson.  I live on Vancouver Island with my hubby and son.  I recently acquired from my grandmother a signed limited edition R.H.Palenske titled "Payday" in a very 30's frame in mint condition.  Anyone know of its value?

Also I am a relation to John Cabot the mariner who traveled in 1490 something to Canada.  I have his son's baby spoon Sebastian Cabot and other spoons from the family as well as a weird metal smoking pipe that has a round part at the end of it with holes.  I would love to know when that was made and what the values of the above items are if anyone knows
 

Plus I have a stunning water pitcher (I will take a picture of it) with four sorta tea cups that go with it made and hand painted in the early 1800's on the bottom it has a "J&C" with shamrocks on either side of the stamp.

Anyone know of the maker and value on THAT beauty!!!!!

It's driving me nuts not havin info :blink:

Ok how the heck do I post pictures here, everytime I try it says its too big.  But if I make the picture any smaller than no one can see it proper <_<  

[HistoryHound]

ok now

here is the jug, I couldn't get the markings to focus with my camera though.  The water jug stands 7"high and is 7 1/2" wide at the base, it has gold around the edges of its top portion.

Oh I forgot, the jug comes with four cups painted with the same motif.

Hi and welcome to the forums............. ...Your jug is what I consider a cider pitcher, but J&C is not ringing bells. It does have the look of a quality porcelain piece though. I would surmise retail $3-$400 and the cups probably $40 each. No chips, cracks, etc............

Thank you so much for the info.  There are no cracks, chips or hazes.  The set is mint!  Now I'll keep it a little higher on the shelf though

Hi Tim,

I'm Mark, Debra's husband.  Even if I cut this into 3 sections, by the time I resize to 10K (as listed at the bottom of the page) I've got such poor resolution I cannot see it.

I can post this image to the HP share to web site (our camera is an HP) or email directly, or the resolution may not be as good as I'd like.  Do you have any suggestions - is there a particular program you use to resize and not lose resolution?

Mark
