According to my research, Victor Silver Company was established in 1872 and was a division of the Derby Silver Company in Connecticut. On the bottom of the piece, is an etched unicorn along with with words "quadruple plate". The Victor Silver Co. stopped making quadruple plated silver in 1912, so this piece was made before that time. There are four arms that twist out at about 90 degree angles and then twist upward to hold the candle.

20 MINTON CHINA DINNER PLATES WITH PINK RIM

I bought this buffet table at a thrift store because it was such a beautiful piece. It is in great condition with the exception of a few scratches at the bottom of the legs. The rest of the piece is absoultly beautiful. No scratches or flaws at all. It is put together by tongue and groove. I would like to know the value of this piece.

I bought this O'Keefe & Merritt oven from an old neighbor of mine. It has all the parts. It needs a little work. I think it needs a new thermostate and the knob to turn on the oven is extremely hard to turn. I have not been able to find one exactly like mine to compare with. Im not sure how to date it or value it.
