This picture is a picture of a duplicate that I actually found on this site. If you look at it closely you can see that it has stains along the bottom. The copy that I have is prestine. It has no flaws at all. It has been incased in a glass frame since 1903 and is in perfect condition.

I sent pictures to the Illinois State Museum asking if they could give me any information about these beads. Illinois State Museum has an extensive collection of Stephen Fosters Merchants Trade Beads that the Foster Company imported during the 1800's.
I received an answere from Jonathan Reyman Phd. Curator of Anthropology and Collections for the Illinois State Museum.
He said the Beads all of them are Mid 19th Century Venetian Lamp-Work Trade Beads.
I'm trying to find a value for the Beads.

The is a crystal punch bowl set that I inherited from my aunt. It has a glass ladel and 12 punch glasses.

This plate is made by Sanders Manufacturing in Nashville, Tn. There is no date on it.

this painting is of 2 little girls playing in a field, mountains and trees in the backdrop but the field is more like a tall wild flowers. on the certificate of authenticity it states that it is # 418/1000 made. made in nevada and signed in the lower right corner. the lithograph is still sealed into the frame and certificate of authenticity and other papers that came with it including the information paper of the artist as well as a paper with 5 other pictures on it made by the artist.

Included are the full size headboard, dresser (58" x 30"), chest of drawers (48" x 34"), night stand (24" x 24"), wall mirror (45" x 26"), and cheval mirror frame (no mirror in it). The set is probably from the 70's or 80's and shows normal wear for its' age so it's not perfect. There is a piece, about and inch by half inch, missing from the top of one side of the headboard. It's not noticeable, in fact, I didn't notice it until I took the bed apart. Several drawers in the chest and dresser need the long wooden piece that the drawer slides onto replaced. This is an easy, inexpensive fix. Also, one pull is missing from the night stand. I've shown a closeup of one of the drawer fronts to show the condition. You can always paint it white or whatever color you like and the wear would be less noticeable.
