We found 1 half of a bit to a horse bridal while digging in flower beds in our yard. This bit has the designs on it that would appear to be related to law enforcement. Our house was built on the lot that used to house the sherriffs station. Across the alley from us is the old town jail. Our house was built in 1889 so I would assume the piece of the bit is older than that. Where could I find out its value if it has any. It is an interesting piece. John

 When I was a kid I would go to garage sales with my grandparents and always collected glass or porcelain figurines. Some of these I was told date back to the 1800's if not earlier. Does anyone know if this is true? Do you think any of these are worth money?

Here is a link to the picture. I kept the photo large so you could zoom in:http://iheartpaws.com/weddingphotos/Figu… 



I have more, but these are the oldest ones. I also have the cap to the tea pot on the tea set but it is in a different box I will go through tomorrow. 

I found this bust in the window of our local antique store where I watched and dreamed about it for months!  My aunt liked it too and after about six months of asking each other if "it" was still there, she called and told me the price had dropped and she saw some other women pointing at it. I had enough at that point! I scraped up the money within a couple of days and as luck would have it, she came home with me.  She is almost 3 ft tall and 200+ lbs of pure rusty iron. The pear in the photos is for size reference. She is old, real old,  I just don't know how old that is. Any information about her will be appreciated such as period, style, approximate age, value?
