I have an etching (reproduction?) of an elephant by Rembrandt dated 1637. The back has a label from F. Denks 153 West 57th street New York and the title: Elephant by Rembrandt.
This belonged to my father at least 50-60 years ago, maybe back to the 1920's when he collected books and art.
I have found a picture of it on-line but cannot determine anything about printings or quantities or dates.
Can you tell me if it has any value?
When I edited the photos to meet the two Mbyte requirement, the trunk was cropped.
I have a Pillsbury cook-book with a copyright date of 1914. It contains 300 recipies with illustrations and menus. It has over 70 original drawings, picturing the Pillsbury process of flour milling. It is worn and has writing I'm assuming from the original owner. But, only on the inside of the front and back cover.
I don't have any other info. It obtained possession of it about a month ago. I would greatly appreciate any help with an appraisal.
I Have a DAR certificate dated "9th day of January 1934" Issued to Bessie Marshall, Who it states is a descendant of "John Cooper" At F"Fort Valley" who served as "Soldier" during the revolutionary war.
The document has a few brown spots on it but hasnt been folded, it has been kept rolled up in a parcel tube for the past 18 years. It appears to be very old ande looks genuine. It has a big blue sticker/stamp on it.
Also. I have a Diploma from "The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary" Of Lousville Kentucky it is made out to E. J. Marshall and dated May 31st 1894
Also I have one that says "Convention Normal Course" "Sunday School Board" "Southern Baptist Convention" It Says "This is to certify that Bessie Marshall ,having completed the prescribed Normal Course is awarded this Diploma and is hereby declared to be a King's Teacher.Dated Nov, 1 1921
Any info on the value of these would be greatly appreciated Thanks - Gabe
