I inherited this and 6 other oil paintings from my grandmother. I am 53 years old and I remember these paintings in her house when I was growing up. She died in 1969 and for that era was pretty wealthy. 

I just wanted to know if there is any value.

Thanks,

Jim

    I've tried to give as much info as I can on this crate. I was hoping someone more knowledgeable in WWII equipment would have more specific information on how this was used and how much it might be worth. Thank you for helping.

Very ornate detailed hand worked engraving (it is evident on the outside)

Just curious as to what and where if anyone has any clues.

We suspect it was brought over or crafted by the immigrants to northern California during the Gold Rush or Rail Road Expansion era of the late 1800's.

China Dish set. See .jpeg What is the name of this pattern? Who made it?

This book is a collection among other from my family. 

Names of book owners are in some of the books.

I have 3 other old books in leather and other materials.

Highly engraved water jug,with a figure head of a lady atop of the upswept pouring handle. The lid has a high knob,surrounded by 4 circular knobs,and one further one on top. The jug has ornate fine engraving around the main jug itself. Highly ornate in its design. The jug has not been cleaned,since I've owned it,but stored in a dark cupboard for years. I have just recently put it on display,in our new large china cabinet.
