paintings

[MarieA]

I have 3 Red Skelton paintings, one is a canvas transfer of Carol Burnette, 2 are lithographs. All 3 are double signed and 1 has a personal message on it. I am trying to find someone who can give me an appraisal. Any ideas?

I'd suggest you save some money via searching the internet for similar items for sale , from current , as well as past closed auction results .
If you're looking to sell , you can use the above prices for a guide .

Some lithos (signed ones) were going up for sale in the 1990's for as much as $1000 ..... the market got flooded by folks trying to sell what they had , and prices dropped down as low as about $100 .

If you've got some provenance (other than word-of-mouth kind) on yours it would help a bit , come selling time .

What your reasons are for needing/wanting a certain type of appraisal will also affect the 'value/worth' of your items .

That's my two cents worth .

Would also need to know area you live to give you an idea.

i agree to search the internet!

Marie, you might want to check out this site. There's likely more places to look out there, this was just near the top.

saphire that was a great site, priced 2 of them, 1 for $1500 and 1 for
$3500. They didn't show one so it must not be in circulation. They were a gift from a cousin who bought them many years ago, she met him in Seattle at a book signing. He signed the paintings for her. I also have a signed book by him.
