I purchased this statue in Borneo in 1972.

The Chinese shop owner said it was old and it was valuable, being also signed by the artist. He called it 'The Old Peaceful'.

From the moment I put my eyes on it I loved it and still do, it somehow makes me feel good and at peace.

No pictures available yet. Color profile picture of Winnie Davis on the front with the words Confederate Reunion 1902 A. Harris & Co.. On the back is Whitehead & Hoag Co. patent 1896. The pinback is in excellent condition with minimal rusting on the metal stickpin.

My son found a Thomas Goggan Piano.  The plate says Manufactured by order of Thos Goggan & Bros Texas.  It was painted probably 40 or 50 years ago.  Paint is peeling.  The piano works with the exception of 2 keys.  It has another another number 69577. 

The piano plays.  Would like to know what is worth and should I go ahead and have the peeling paint stripped off and refinished before selling? 

 This tea set was purchased by my grandparents while they were on their honeymoon in Japan.  It is a 15 piece tea set with six cups and saucers, tea pot, cream and sugar holders.  The china is very thin, very delicate.  Each piece is hand painted.  

It's a three dresser table with mirror (the mirror has a stamp on the back that says NMP CO. Sept. 30 1924 Bloomington IND.) and the back of dresser has a 4525 number on it - but that is only identifing marks I can find.

The item is a sample ballot of the new york state ballot for the 2008 presidental election.  It is signed by President Obama.
