It was a gift from my ex girlfriends parents. Says j-7991 and e-51054 on it. Looks nautical to me. They told me ot was very expensive and old. It still has the old plug on it and looks to be brass maybe. I can't find anything on it.
This has many records and all parts including locks, keys, changeable head for diamond needle and 78 RPM needle, Duncan Stop (not connected right now), needle grease, all serial numbers and parts attached including papers, original finish and all original parts. The cloth speaker cover was torn so that has been replaced with new speaker cover fabric ordered from repair company. Excellent condition. Plays both 78 RPM and Diamond needle records which are in two drawers of cabinet. Has owners name on one of the records. Purchased by my family from original owner in 1970. Would like to know an approximate value.
My name is Penny and I was wondering if I could get your opinion on a recent find I made? I found what I believe is a 1930s piece, I think it's a two drawer server table. As you can see the condition is a little rough but appears to be really well made. The top piece runner appears slightly bowed but that may be fixable be a local wood restorer (not sure). I tried to include close-ups of all the damage. So my question is really 3 parts:
1) what's it worth in the current condition? 2) Could/should repairs be made and what might be a good estimate on the cost? 3) If I made the repairs, what would it be worth then?
I normally find old pieces and paint them Shabby-chic style, I was going to do that with this piece when I first saw it and resell it for $400-500 with some small repairs made, they would be hidden by my paint. When I saw the emblem I thought I might have something special and an internet search lead me here. Thanks for your time.
