Bought this a few years ago, and from what I can gather it is potentially a promotional poster or wall hanging used to promote a bull fighting event in Madrid in 1966. I know nothing else about this and will let the pictures do the talking.

It seems to have slight water damage but has alot of character. Just interested in knowing what I have and what it is worth. Would also like to know if I should possibly frame it to protect it from the elements or anything like that.

Im really not sure the origin or value of this Antique Onyx Clock circa 1880's??  I hope that someone can identify it for me and tell me its value.

I saw another one online just like it and this is what I believe this Antique Clock is but Im really not sure.

Ormolu and Green Onyx Boudoir Clock
by Samuel Marti

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

A stunning original, antique French boudoir clock. It is made of the most beautifully variegated, specimen green onyx. This is mounted with finely modelled ormolu (fine gilded brass / bronze) in the Louis XVI style. To the top of the clock is an onyx urn with ormolu handles and finial.  

The dial is enamel on copper, decorated with delicate floral swags between the numbers. The hands are finely fretted gilt brass.

serial # 2075180

it is a locking cedar chest with key origional papers still attached on the inside 

minor surface scratches other than that it is perfect

Crane Neuvogue Sink 1936, It was made by The Trenton Potteries Company according to the stamp on the bottom. It also has the chrome plated square frame legs and towel racks on both sides. The faucet fixtures all work.  According to some research I've done, It appears to be rare and valuable. I would like to know just how valuable this sink is in case I do decide to sell it.

This piece is a very well crafted item that looks to be handmade .  It is crafted of two different pieces of metal. I am not certain what either type of metal is but both are very precisely made and fitted together. One part looks to be some type of brass or copper and the other is what looks to be some type of stainless but am not sure of either one. Neither seem to corrode or rust but both seem to show a very nice " patina " and looks to be made quite a few years ago. The piece is very solid and does not bend or cave in when pushed on or hit upon. It would take quite a blow to make a dent upon either metal surfaces.

    There are on marks or identifiable patterns  or stencils. The  bottom is not flat and would normally stand up very well by itself but has the bottom knocked or bent in so that it can stand by itself. There is no lid nor any type of cap that was attacked or one that served by itself as a cover.

This is a painting by Laiche that is of a little shack in the swamp that he painted on a 100 year old piece of rock slate from a roof that came from Europe . I have seen some of his other work but never of this picture in the swamp. On the bottom right of the painting is looks to be signed by Pierre Louis Laiche and there is a date next to it showning '78.

    There are also 2 holes that I assume were used to used to attatch something to hang it from the wall. I don't know if they were made after the painting was bought by someone other than  the artist.  It also looks like at the top center of the painting and on the top left side some of the slate might have chipped off , again not sure if it came that way or if they are wear and tear damage. Also on the back there is a peice of what looks to be some kind of cardboard that is glued to the back as cushion when it is hung from a wall.

    I am looking for some kind of an appraisal as to the condition and the value of the painting as well as the rariety of this painting compared to how often that the ones seen of clowns are.
