Just purchased these watches with a jewelry collection and they were bagged and tagged. The GRUEN is 17 Jewels, 10K RGP and works. The BENRUS 17 Jewels 10K RGP Not running, and the CLINTON Watch Co. Germany, 21 Jewels, also running. I have replaced the watchband on the Clinton with a brushed stainless steel "Twiston" - Nice ones in great shape.

Any information, including value and age on these would be greatly appreciated.

I purchased this item 15 years ago at a midtown Manhattan (NYC) thrift shop and it has been my personal bedroom dresser ever since. Would like some help identifying this piece, its age, and any other information anyone can provide (type of wood, maker info, value, age/period, etc). I've searched the internet for this company and have not been able to locate any information.

The dresser is obviously very old. The top shows some crazing in the finish and appears to be a wood veneer overlay used for its grainy effect. I am referring to the top only and believe this is the case because there is an area towards the back where the finish has chipped 1mm deep and there is smooth, unfinished wood of a different grain in that spot. It is entirely possible a veneer top was used in the manufacture of this piece for its durability. The rest of the dresser appears to be solid and of the same grain both inside and outside the drawers and throughout the dresser.

The dresser has three 8"w x 17"d vanity drawers down the middle and six 27"w x 17"d larger drawers, three to each side with original brass drawer pulls. Front panel of each drawer is fully rounded and has decoratively mitered edges. Dresser is fully dove-tailed with all wood tongue and groove drawer glides. There are absolutely no visible sign of brackets, metal or other hardware. Beautifully scalloped bottom and wavy front. Front and hind legs are one piece coming from top of the dresser all the way down, finishing in bombay feet in front (straight in back). The lower left-hand drawer is stamped De Goal & Walker or Walken. This is a very sturdy, well made dresser of superb quality.



Please take a look and e-mail me. Thank you so much.

its a silver box we dont know much about when we searched online we found that there were other boxes that looked the same that were made in the 1880's and we just want to know if it really is authenticly made in that time period and if so how would it be worth

Item appears to be a vintage Japan Kewpie. Made of hollowed bisque w/hole on the bottom and JAPAN stamped in red. Thin and potbellied when turned on its side. The only color on the back is the continuation of the pink "diaper." Minimal/minor paint ruboff: 1) forehead curleycue, 2) tip of curl on left side of head, 3) center back of diaper. These 3 spots of ruboff are tiny and do not minimize eye appeal of the piece.

Item was dirty and yellowed when I purchased it. The photo is pre-cleanup. I've gently wiped it clean with a soft towel and a little soap & water. Cleaned up nicely with no wear to the paint.

Round wooden table with claw feet clutching glass balls and twisted legs. 

Cannot find any distinguishing marks, but do not believe it has been refinished.
