Found a large pot belly stove in my great grandfathers house when he passed away in 1994. I do not know much about the stove, nothing is missing or rusted off, from the little information i have found it was made in the 18th century at some point.
I believe this is a Peter Force 1843 facsimile printing of the Declaration of Independence from Peter Force's American Archives: Volume 1 released in 1848, printed on rice paper using W.J.Stone's original copper engraving plate, then folded & inserted into the back of the book volume. Only a few hundred made. Slight foxing on top left quadrant. A very rare opportunity to own a Declaration of Independence printed from the original William Stone copper engraved plate.
I do not know anything about this photo. It was my grandmothers and I do not know where she got it from. It does however look like it is in the original frame. It is in excellent condition
This antique chest has been handed down. It is a dark wood that has a yellow crackled paint. It has definitive carvings and designs that are unique. carved legs. Stands about 3 feet high and 4 ft wide. Inside Cedar is in mint condition.
This China has belonged to my mother for as long as I can remember. I believe she purchased it overseas on one of my Dad's tours(military). With the help from purchasing @ Replacements.com I was able to get the pattern # for the set, Winterling/Bavaria, pattern WIG1149. This was a big help. I have traveled with this China myself for many years and unfortunately I have used it only once for Thanksgiving in 10 years. I am interested in finding the value of all the pieces so I may know what I can expect to recieve for it when I decide to sell them. I will list all the pieces I have at another time as they are still packed , save for the two from the pictures.
