We have a make shift portfolio full of drawings and ink portraits from the 1930s.

The larger pictures are pencil drawn and there are four, one seems to be a family on the farm getting ready for breakfast, the next is a barber shop scene and the third is a line of children waiting to see Santa The last one seems to be the family doing chores around the house there is a little girl washing her doll clothes and a boy carrying firewood.

There are also some portraits of men, one being an ink drawing of a man in a top hat (VERY 1930s)

.  I have not been able to find any information on the artist or the art. Most of them are signed Ben Johnston(jr?) one was also dated '32 and on the back of one it read  Ingersall (or Ingersoll) 6741  then 1253 NY Ave Brooklyn NY.  Any information I can get would be a great help!

If I can get pictures I will post them.

I bought this basket at a thrift store because it is so nicely made. I would like to know its origin, age and value. Thanks!

I bought this lovely vase at a thrift store. I love the color and the way the wood grain shows. It is inlaid with mother of pearl flowers. There are no marks or signatures on the bottom of the vase. I would like to know what kind of wood it is made of, its value and anything else you might know about this lovely vase. Thanks!

I bought this hand-made whistle at an estate sale where many items were from Germany. The whistle works very well and is very loud. It has a small pine cone in the centre. I would like to know any history about this item and its value. Thanks!
