They look mid 20th century. Can't see the carousel being that valuable

There should be a logo on the Japanese box or car

[artx]

the asking price for the carousel  is 120$
and for the cars 130 $
is not too much ?

thanks.

Is too much ??  Yes,, on cars !!  Unless name brand !! Unmarked about $60.to $75.  Can`t see the bottom of carousel to read it !! Pic is too small and won`t enlarge !!

how much this is worth ?

thanks.

As long as it's not a marriage between cover and body - in the first picture it seems to lean ? Looks slightly odd but maybe it's the image.

Without being able to handle it and see the marks more clearly, i'd say about $200. Maybe a touch more

[bigwull]

are you  calling it Sterling Silver...with a London hallmark...or does it say Sterling Silver on it.....for if it does say Sterling...then..it,ll be a first as i,m sure English hallmarked items do not say Sterling silver...I,ve no doubt Hawkeye..will correct me if i,m wrong....

[artx]

well this is what was the Description of the auction house.
I will ask them if there any mark that says sterling.

[bigwull]

that,s what i mean..if it says Sterling Silver...then...its not a London hallmark...Sterling is used to mark silver outwith the UK...

[artx]

oh ok now i got ur point.

 

[Ipcress]

oh ok now i got ur point.

 

There are some hallmarks, and the date letter is correct. However, the marks need to be genuine so a better image is needed.

 " Sterling silver " might just be the terminology used by whoever catalogued it. Lots of non British call it Sterling Silver when it comes from here without that being marked on the item

[bigwull]

its good to know that i did,nt put my muckle great foot in it....

[artx]

well here more 2 pictures,is very hard to take a good pic of the marks.

both Piece are mark.

hope this picture can help a bit more.


thanks.
