1896 Folding Toilet Cabinet, Marshall, MI

Category
American Furniture
Condition
Excellent
Description

 I am asking for help in valuating this rare piece of antique furniture manufactured by the Folding Bath Tub Company, Marshall, Michigan, patented July 14, 1896. According to a manufactures advertisement it is called a Folding Toilet Cabinet with brass spigot and copper top and wash basin.

I have searched for years for information on this piece and have even engaged several appraisers but know one has ever seen one before. Can anyone help me with establishing a fair value for this piece? Any information or help you can provide is gratefully appreciated.  I inherited this item and really want to get it insured.

Excellent
Description

Found a set of parrot pitchers. Cannot find anything about them online. Has a stamp on the bottom saying "Gold Castle Hand Painted Made In Japan". Not even sure if it's a parrot, really. That's just what it looks like to me.

horse and carriage porcelain and brass table lamp

Category
Ceramics and Porcelains
Condition
Excellent
Description

I have a table lamp in perfect condition. No cracks, scratches, broken pieces. It is a carriage drawn by two horses with driver, coachman, and woman exiting carriage. It looks hand painted with vivid colors as well as gold fine details. It is set on a solid brass base with a filigree design. It has almost a "Cinderella" look to it.
