This is what they said, Thank you for contacting Christie's regarding the possible sale of your property. Our specialists have carefully reviewed the information you kindly sent to us and have requested that I share with you their response. Unfortunately, based on the information provided, your property does not appear to fall into a property category or value level that Christie's currently handles for sale. For that reason, our specialists are not able to suggest an estimate or provide other information.

 We recognize that this may be disappointing news, and although we cannot be of assistance at this time, we hope that we may be of service to you in the future.

yeah, what that means is, it's not worth  $5000. or more which is their minimum value for a single object.

It's disappointing that they can't tell if its fake or real

Well, i would say an auction house like Christie or Sotheby is the wrong place to inquire, they are interested in the top 10% of the market only. At least you know they do not think it is in that group of objects so inquiry wasn't a total bust, you did learn something.

Well,, that doesn`t help !!  At least we know it isn`t in the $5000. category !!

Agreed, Christie went with the 5k minimum for a single object quite awhile ago, maybe 10 years ago or so? That does not mean when they sell an entire collection every object will  be 5k and up, it won't be but, for a single object it's gotta be worth their time or they are just not interested.
