My grandparents were collectors of antiques. This is an item I always like as a child so my grandmother let me have it. Thinking about selling it but have no idea where to start or I may begin to collect myself.
Bottom is marked Bailey & Co., Phila., Hard Solder and #905. I believe the handle insulators are ivory. Engraved in the body are two dates, 1825 and 1875, with the initials HE in the middle. I think it might be an Anniversary piece, reason it's gold and the date span is 50 years. A #6 is stamped on the inside of the lid. It stands 5 1/2" tall, the Body radius is roughly 4", the Lid and Base radius's are 2 1/2".
12 piece complete set of Knowles Platinum Grey China # 8029 Designed by Freda Diamond. Includes Teapot, Sugar bowl, Creamer, Salt & Pepper, Oval platter, Gravy boat, 12 dinner plates, 12 salad plates, 12 cups, 12 saucers. In mint condition. Today a replacement set (not available) of 1 place setting - which consists of 1 cup, 1 saucer, 1 dinnerplate, and 1 salad plate - sells for $64.00
A painting I have had in my possesion sine the early 1990's - have carried it around all these years - tried half-heartedly earlier to identify the signature - today identified it as Lee Reynolds - would love to know history & value.
