Grandma had these for me and I'm wondering if anyone knows any history and what they should cost. Would love to put these in my store, but I want to be fair with pricing. Friar Tuck "Thow shalt not steal", Vintage Snoopy (with original box), Bunny Grandma cermaic cookie jars-all in great condition! Cheese Crocks unmarked but in very good condition. Bean jar/crock like new, but it had the wrong lid, so no lid. Exciting, yay! :-)
The two glasses I own are identical apart from one of the feet is much smaller than the other so possibly been damaged and ground down?
Both glasses have a greyness in colour and domed feet. Both measure 10.5cm in height and have 5cm rims. The larger of the two feet measures 5.2cm and the other 4.6cm.
The glasses both have many air bubbles and what seems to be tiny pieces of grit. Striations are also clearly visible in both glasses. If anyone could possibly date them and give me any idea of value I'd appreciate it.
I got this chair at a garage sale.When I was cleaning the chair I could not find anything saying who made it.The top half of the chair is all wood.At the top back of the rocking chair it has about 6 snaps built into the wood to snap into place the back cushion.The seat bottom has a 14 inch square hole with 5 removable elastic bands.I took them out to look at them,at each end they had metal clips.I was looking at them and notice there was a patent number.So I went online and looked it up.The patent was for the straps,it was approved in 1958 but it was submitted in 1956.The top half of the chair is bolted to a metal bottom which consist of the following:three springs,a swivel part,and five feet with small wheels.I am trying to find out when it was made and who made it?
I really have no idea the value of this piece. I just put mahogany partner desk b/c it looks like one to me, based on about 3 minutes of Google searching. So feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!
The desk was belonged to my parents who passed on over ten years ago. I received this piece as part of the estate.
The story on the piece is, as I understand it, that it was purchased at a bank auction in Boston by my grandmother. Even tho' I was born and raised in Nebraska (and the piece is currently located here) my parents were born and raised in Somerville, Mass.
It does have an original key and the locks work.
There are some drilled holes on the left side of the piece. I'm assuming something was attached to this desk at some point. Nothing has been attached to during my lifetime.
