floor model, working and solid Grafonola is a combination hi fi am/fm radio and phonograph. The phonograph plays 33,45, and 78 rpm records. Guild Grafonola was manufactured by the Guild Radio and Television Corporation, Inglewood, CA This item has working power cord and a handcrank on the side which tunes the radio to the desired station along with an illuminated dial on the top to show the fm/am station.The cabinet contains 2 large speakers which also work great giving you 3 speakers in all. The sound is actually pretty good and speakers in the cabinet can be closed when not in use. 8 wooden knobs in all. All knobs are solid and in very good shape. Knobs control bass treble balance volume am/fm radio/phonograph record speed stereo mono. The brass horn also works well. The only thing it really needs is a new needle. The needle it has now has seen better days,but still works. I have never seen one of these in this condition with 8 knobs. Legs are sturdy. Cabinet is very nice.

Gold plated 4 piece coffe tea service. Teapot, coffee urn, sugar and creamer. In perfect condition. Design #2595. Dated on bottom May 14, 1872. Also states manufactured and plated by Reed & Barton.
We picked up a china set that has the geisha girl lithophane in the bottom of the teacups, and a landscape scene similar to hayasi Kutani. The mark in the bottom is in japanese or chinese letters. There is a lot of what appears to be gold painted on the picture. Village with lake and a dock, I think, and trees with mountain in background.
The set has 6 small saucers, 6 larger saucers, 6 tea cups, large teapot with lid, creamer, and a sugar bowl. The set is not perfect - we see a few chips, a small saucer has two pieces glued back onto it, etc.
Just looking for some information on the age, potential price, history, etc. I know nothing about china so this is all interesting and new to me. :-)
The top two frames are small, possibly 3 or 4 inches square (sorry, can't find a ruler or tape measure). The top left has a sticker on the back that says, "Hand-Made Enamel on Copper by P.G. Collins 12 Whitton Road Hounslow Middx. TW3 2EL England". The top right is in excellent condition but does not have the sticker on the back with the information like the top left one does. The top left is in fair condition with no damage to the frame but some of the velvet-like backing is loose in the top right corner. I am interested to know the appraisal for those as well as recommendations regarding whether to attempt to have the velvet-like backing fixed or to leave it alone.
The bottom two frames are approximately 7-8 inches across. They include paintings of "Bois de Boulogne" as it is painted on them. There are no other markings or signatures as they have a maroon velour-like backing. Both appear to be in excellent condition with no signs of damage or wear.
I am interested to know what all the items appraise for individually and what they appraise for as the matching set (the top two = set, the bottom two = set). I would also like to know the artist of the bottom two if available as well as the time period in which all of them derived.
