All these toys are from back when my father was growing up - so over 60 years ago when he was playing with them and I believe my grandfather had them prior to that.

Would love to know if they are of any cash value - the sentimental value is enough for me but my kids want to play with them and I don't want to destroy them worse than they are. Would love to make them "like new" and display them in my home.

This pitcher/vase was found by my husband in 1965 when he was 11. He found it near Fort Montgomery, NY in his backyard and has held on to it for all these years. This was less than 1/4 mile from the Hudson. It was on it's side and about 1/2 inch was showing, the rest was buried. It is in mint condition. No cracks, No chips, No scratches. We have tried to do some research on the name on the bottom. Elwell. There were two men who fought in the war with that name in the late 1700's. We have spoke with a analyst in the museum there in New York who wanted us to donate it to the museum. We have shown it to many antique dealers and were told it is exquisite. We have been told it could be worth quite a bit.   We have some documents in regards to the Elwell's.

This is a working lamp that I believe is made of chalkware,because of the nicks & wear that is consistant with chalkware. It is not broken anywhere.I have never seen anything like it.It is hilarious, & absolutely a conversation piece, since I moved it into my den after my father passed.I have been told that yrs. ago carnivals gave prizes that were banks like this, but there is no slot on it to put a coin into.  I would appreciate it very much if I could find the history & value of this. Thanks.
