Santa Anna's spur?

Category
Other
Condition
Good
Description

Hi, this is an item that my parents brought home in the 1970s.  They said it was Santa Annas.  Back in the day they antiqued a lot and were knowledgeable in this regard.  I can not see them being gullible.  On a middle class income they were able to finance their "dream home" in the 1980s on the auction of many of their antiques.  Having said that, being an adult now, there does not seem to be a way to authenticate this claim.  This is why I am reaching out now to see if people who have knowledge in this regard can tell if could be true and answer if this has any value.

By mom and dads actions when they got home with this (I was young teen at the time) I know they spent some money on it.  Have no way of knowing.  Financially, could not see them paying a fortune but maybe up to a $1,000 back then would have been the limit I figure.  Most likely in the hundreds by the way they were acting.

In two days of research, it is definetely unique and pretty but beyond this, I do not know. 

If anyone can offer any thoughts on value of item and if they think it could have been Santa Annas it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Rich

Wooden heads of Kaiser Wilhelm II, WWI

Category
Fine Art
Condition
Good
Description

Militaria/Art

I Inhereted the heads from my grandfather, they have been in my family for some time. I do not know the whole story just that these heads were on kaiser wilhem II's yacht and belomged to him. They both totally resemble him, theres a good & bad one. My grandfather always said these were worth quite a bit of money. I've not been able to find anyone to properly appraise them. I have not seen any sort of signature or markings and with the research i've done, I believe they were commisioned by wilhelm and are one of a kind.

Carved fold up games table

Category
General Antiques and Collectibles
Condition
Excellent
Description

I have a fold up games table, it is great quality and very ornate. The table has a chess board and lifts off to reveal backgammon. Flipped over it is a card table. The chairs are slats of timber, crossing between each other to form a seat. The arms are carved lions heads at the hand rests and the back, which lifts off, is ornately carved with curls and flowers. The table legs are forrmed the same as the chairs. It's beautiful and in great condition. I have never seen or heard of another.

German Wine Decanter and 6 Glasses

Category
Glassware and Crystal
Condition
Mint
Description

This is a decanter set that was owned by my great aunt.  She worked for a dentist for a long time, and the dentist brought this set back from Germany as a gift in the 1950's or 1960's.  I'm not sure if it was purchased new or as an antique at the time.  It doesn't have a maker's mark that I can find.  Everything looks hand made with painted gold and flowers that are raised.  Looking for a value to sell or trade for .999 silver.
