I recently bought a carousel horse and I'm curious as to where I can find information about its origin and value. It's approximated to be from the 1950s or 1960s.
I have one carved Buda head that opens and has carvings inside. I have one that looks like a bat on the outside and Buda carvings inside. I have one that looks like a man and has Buda carvings inside. Then I have one 3 piece hinged box that has Buda carvings inside. I have taken pictures and am trying to get tickets for the Antique Road Showto have them looked at.
The item is a tie tack that my grandfather, who passed away in 1999, received for 35 years of service with Hanes Hosiery in WInston Salem, NC. It seems to have two authentic diamonds with a ruby in the center and the old Hanes logo in gold on the pin. The inscription on the back reads CTC 10k. Please let me know what value this item has. Thank you.
