It appears to be an antique children's toy - a teeter-totter or see-saw. It is about 48" long, 13" wide, and 21" tall. One of the end panels appears to be replaced (you can see that it doesn't have paint on it), while the rest appears to have original paint. It is in the shape of a swan. It was found in Pacific Grove, California. Of note, Pacific Grove's Lover's Point beach was a very popular tourist spot around 1900, and they had glass bottom swan shaped boats that people would take onto the Monterey Bay. Makes me wonder if this is a handmade local piece from that era with the similar swan boat design. Never seen anything like it online. Any idea what it is and what it is worth?? Thanks so much!
I was recently handed down a china set that was purchased by my great grandmother and given to my grandmother as a wedding gift. I am unable to find any information thru web searches on this exact set. I have over a hundred pcs including plates, saucers, cups , serving dishes, sugar bowl, etc...etc...The only info I have is what it says on the bottom of the pieces. Any info on value would be greatly appreciated. Please see photos..
