Small carved beads, chinese, total of nine beads. They appear to be olive, nut pit or possibly boxwood. One is a tassle bead. The bead shown here has over 50 tiny carved men, their faces are smaller than a grain of rice. The beads are microscopically carved, and appear to be tiered. I have more pictures if necessary. They dipict different scenes including military, farm, lotus, crane, shops and cafes. All are hollow beads with <1/4" hole at each end. Two beads are partially damaged. The lines on the bottom side of the tassle bead can only be seen with an eye lupe. Any information on date and approximate value would be appreciated.

 What is the value of my tables?

Looking to see if anyone knows what this collection of flatware might be worth, either sold seperately or all together. There is about 14 spoons, all in great/excellent condition, with "pure coin" markings on them, all with some initials and markings on the bottom. Wm rogers is one of them,  PITKIN is one, H. CHAPIN NY is another, and the list goes on. I'm pretty sure they would have been made in or near CT, in the early 1800's. Don't know if they might be worth anything. I'll try to get pictures of them, but for now, they look just like this

My mother bought these pieces when she lived down the road from Van Briggle in Colorado Springs, CO. All 3 pieces were purchased at different times but we know the red/purple one is the most recent. The brown/green one is said to be of a color recipie that has been lost and can no longer be produced.
