Field Phone used in war. U.S.M.C. inscribed on silver handset. Made by Western Electric. Everything in tact. All the wiring, ringer bell, etc. Needs a little cleaning. Everything original.
Looking to sell and need to know value.
It's a basin bowl with 4 floral printings. It has no marking on the back. It's 10". Glazed on the top unglazed on the bottom. It's white. Appears to be made of porcelain.
Weidlich Silver Co. sterling bread tray #8196. It has a leaf and flower design around the edge. It is 12" x 7" and about 1/2" deep at the middle then where the ends slope upwards it's about 1 1/8". It weighs 165 grams.
There are 3-4 minor dings in the surface that I didn't see until I looked at it up close. What condition would this be called? Is this vintage or antique, and what would be the value? Should it be polished or left as is?
I am interested in selling this, but want to gather information first.
