The Painting is framed and has a paper backing that I have not removed. There is a sticker attached to the paper that reads
Autorretrato Rembrandt
(1606-1669)
Museo del Prado (Madrid)
D.L.SS.703-69
Procedimientro Oleografico Patentado
R.A.D.E.F. Elfe, 80-Madrid-17(Espana)

The frame is gold colored with 2 1/2" raised pieces in each corner, it is very ornate. There is a Black Velvet border around the inside of the frame that is 2 3/8" wide and then the viewable portion of the painting is 18 3/4 X 22 3/4". The visible portion of the painting is covered with glass. You can see obvious brush strokes in the painting.

Like I said, I have not taken the paper backing off the frame to examine the painting further as I assume that could ruin value, authenticity, etc...

This mantle piece is in an estate home which is being sold in SC. It is listed as one of the selling points of the home, and I'd like to have some idea of it's value. Does the fact that it is a PT Barnum piece add value? Is the value monetary or simply interest?

Thank you for your help!

Want to know the approx age & worth of these 2 compass, and anyone who may collet these?

Hand-woven original horsehair bridle made in approximately the 1930s. Never used aside from home decoration. Great condition, beautifully made.

There are two boats tied to a pier with three boats in the background. There is a light house on a little hill with sea gulls flying in the sky.

It is completely intact save for a section of the top that has chipped off. It appears to be very old. A considerable number of other items have been found near the location I discovered this jug, most of them of Native American origin (arrow heads, arrow sharpeners, and even a very old rock wall on the river bank said to have been built by indians). Could this jug be that old? I am not a historian or an expert on this sort of thing whatsoever. Can anyone help me?
