I am looking for ANY information on a metal bech.The base is in the shape of a X.The metal seat has a small vevet cushion and the "handles" are brass with a   asian face on them.My father-in-law who is 80 yrs old said this had been in his house when he was a small child.Thank You.

These all copper measure pitchers were used to measure the daily ration of rum given to the crew aboard naval ships. These pitchers each have a lead stamp on the inside rim showing the government inspection mark and royal cipher which proofed each pitcher to meet volume specifications. They range from one Gallon to 1/8 Gill and have a lead seal with a crest inside.

I can't find any information on the lead stamp that is on my set. Does anoyone know anything about these and what my set may be worth? Thanks!

Vintage Crystal & Brass Table Lamps (possibly Stiffler)

These lamps belonged to my grandmother. Sticker on crystal says "Lead Crystal Made in Italy".

Large, floral design vase with a "Hand painted, Nippon" watermark underneath. All florals are outlined with golden, raised markings. Towards the top of the brim is a more intricately raised design, also golden. Whole vase is in tact and no extra markings, cracks or bruises anywhere. 

"Nippon" "Vase" "Porcelain" "Japan"

I bought this at the local Good Will store this afternoon...it just spoke to me. 

I would like to know the value of the "University of Pittsburgh Time Schedule of Classes Second Semester 1940-1941" that I recently came across while sifting through some old sheet music that was donated to her church rummage sale. The booklet is 28 pages cover-to-cover, and (at least in my opinion) in impeccable condition for its age. Although it is extremely dusty, the only other problems I see are 3 pencil lines underlining Physics classes on page 13 and some very slight wrinkling throughout the booklet. Other than that, there really doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it. I imagine that, it being a time schedule, it would have been extremely worn down from handling by students, therefore I'm curious as to how rare it is to find one of these in this condition. The staples are secure and the pages are still firmly attached without any tears and minimal wear on the binding. It also has tucked in between pages 24 and 25 an Engineering study card with a blank schedule chart printed on the back, looks to be fairly untouched.
