Mark Twain Book Signed by Clara Clemens

Category
Books and Manuscripts
Condition
Fair
Description

 

I stumbled upon two old Mark Twain books recently at a thrift store here in Florida and I bought them both despite the fact that one appeared to have writing in one of the front pages.  I finally read the writing when I got home, it read: "The Mysterious Stranger is one of my favorites as it discloses the mystic element (in? sp) my father's nature.  Sincerely Yours, Clara Clemens Gabrilowitsch. 3. October 1938." There is also a newspaper article attached to the front page written by Malcom W. Bingay with a question and answer about the book.  Among other things, Bingay writes, "If any set of Mark Twain is advertised as "complete" and does not contain "The Mysterious Stranger," then the publisher ought to be prosecuted, put in solitary confinement for the rest of his life and have one toe nail pulled out every year just to keep him miserable." The book itself is not in excellent condition.

1813 French Book Antique 17th Century Old

Category
Books and Manuscripts
Condition
Fair
Description

I got this book at an estate sale.  No idea what it says or what its worth.  I can't find the 1813 book anywhere on the internet.  However, I can find later published copies.  The 2010 reprinted copy is going for about $40+.  Not sure about a original 1st edition 200 year old book.  Condition is acceptable.  The front cover is missing, only hard cover on the back.  The front cover page is detached from book.  I would give it between 1-2-3-4 out of a 10 scale.  Please help if you have any clue what this is worth.  See attached photos. TITLE:  "Morceaux Choisis Des Lettres Edifiantes"  About religion/missions. YEAR:  1813

Antique chair inherited from family member. Originated in southwest. Chairs are wooden with cloth backing as well as flat cloth on seat with no cushion. Metal star like tacks hold cloth in place. Looking for possible era or period that this chair came from. Looking for possible value as well as history on where chairs may have come from. Thanks

40 piece Nagoya Nippon dinnerware/china/porcelin/tea set

Category
Ceramics and Porcelains
Condition
Good
Description

There are 6 tea cups, 1 large dish, 1 large platter, 6 saucers, 6 small bowls, 9 large plates, 10 small plates, and 1 tea pot. im not sure if its a tea pot because it has handles on both sides and a small removable lid on the top. I cannot find this anywhere on the web and its nagoya nippon stamped on the back of the base with the crown piece with the large initials NS. it has green oriental lanterns going around the top of every piece with a green solid line going around the top as well. its inbetween good and excellent condition. i found on a couple websites that a plate alone of this exact set sells for $10 dollars each. i really need to know if i stumbled upon something and how much this entire 40 piece set is actually worth. i would really like to know asap so i can get this advertised. thank you so much!

 

p.s.    i did see on one of the sites they call this pattern 684? but when i would try to search for it nothing would come up. so im not sure if its a typo or what happened. just an fyi for ya.
