This etching has been handed down from my Grandfather, Fred J. Smith to my mother, Evangeline Smith.  It was then handed to me at my mothers death.  I would be interested in knowing more about it and its worth.  I have the original dard wooden frame.

I am no expert but it does not appear to have any dings or scratches.  The entire instrument is tarnished inside and out.  Valves still pop up when depressed.  Top of valve buttons seem to have mother of pearl inlaid on top.  The mouth piece may or may not be original....seems to be out of place with the rest of the trumpet.  I am just trying to see if this trumpet is rare or ordinary and what it might be worth if cleaned up professionally.

Thank You!

I have 8 of these can chairs. All of the seats need to be recaned. They are from before the 50's. On the underside there is a stamp that says "Quality M" and some metal hardware. The wood part of the chair may be oak but I am not sure.

There is little rust and a couple of stains and is missing the key

All i can tell you is that it's brass, it's got uneven legs, like the elephants are "walking".  the middle peacock screws off to allow you to open the 5 compartments under the small peacocks.  I have no idea what it's actually for.  Just thought it was cool.
