I think it is an African arched harp. I have only found 1 very similar and it’s in the British Museum. I just want to find out approximately how old it is. Can someone point me in right direction?
Measurements: Approximate Size : 28" x 39" x 1 & 1/4"
WEIGHT : Approximately : 12 pounds
FRAME : Wooden Frame * Not sure if it is real wood or not -- If someone knows this or any other info... please feel free to comment.
* NOTE : * > NOT A PAINTING = IT IS A LITHOGRAPH!
** CONDITIOn ---->
I said "Good" because I am not an expert, nor have I inspected every inch of it with a magnifying glass, however... I feel it is somewhere between good & excellent condition!
The frame itself is in similar condition -- It has some paint stain(s), scuffs, etc. but for the most part, the foundation & overall look of it is GREAt!!
***PLEASE SEE PHOTOS --->> Feel free to ask for more / particular angles/views /etc. if needed!
The STAMP PRICE was $3.00 in 1976' - at the date of its creation -- with a portion of the proceeds directly supporting the conservation & research of wild turkeys!
PRICE >
We are not sure yet -- We were sent a few offers on this piece since we received it but wanted to get a better understanding of its history, value, & go from there! So that is where you guys come in -- Maybe you can created the "ah ha moment" in which we determine a good price for this lovely & intriguing piece of art! ; )
**** SOME HONORABLE MENTIONS >
Wisconsin has required hunters to buy wild turkey stamps since 1995. In effect, they raise about 750,000 A YEAR for wild turkey research!
* If you need any photos, please let me know!
I kind of rushed through this post - so I will have to come back & tweak it but in the meantime, if you need clarification - Let me know!
Any info you have will be helpful!
If anyone has what they believe to be accurate appraisal amounts - Please post them along with why you came to that number. . even if it is different or way off of another commenter's appraisal --- We want to hear everyone's opinion.
This is a bronze sword i got from my granpa about 2 years ago, he said he got it from his grandpa and so on. Recently he passed and i wanted to see how rare and valuable it is. I have found out so far that it is from est. 1200-1400 BC. It is not perfect and it has not been cleaned, i would consider cleaning it if the valuation on it is good. I hope you all help me find out more about it, and i hope to see what it is worth. Also i found an listing of the sword almost identical to this one but it was in pieces(3 pieces) and it sold for 2200€.
