This is a Homer Laughlin bowl (serving bowl/platter?) in excellent shape. There are no chips or cracks. Some of the gilding along the edge is worn in a few places. I am hoping to find out its value or worth so I know if I should keep it a little longer or sell it now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

have this ladies gold bulova watch, I know its 1954 by the L4 on it but I am unsure what the other numbers on the back mean or what its even worth. Numbers are 802104. This is a small gold watch , with small leaves around the face if it, the band is missing. Numbers on face are raised gold numbers. It's in really good shape other than it needs to be cleaned .

Designed to aid chart work and replace parallel rulers. The straight edge is placed on the chart from departure point to destination, then moved to nearest meridian line when seen through hole in center of wheel. The wheel is turned until N lines up on the meridian line and the true course is indicated by the index line.

There is one on display in theNational Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England that is not as clean as this one. This Museum is the leading Maritime Museum in the UK, and may be the largest of its kind in the world. see it at http://www.nmm.ac.uk/collections/explore/object.cfm?ID=NAV0092
