Found old Up to date guitary instructory book by Franklin Eaton - signatures inside with dates of 1905 and 1906 - cost was $.50 by mail - book is bound and in good condition
I was going to provide more detailed pictures, but my flash broke while shooting. The signature in each peice is at the center right hand side. Signature reads "Roger Lundquist  '73" in cursive handwriting. If you lift up the mat, the names of all the cars depicted are embossed at the bottom of the print/? in gold foil lettering about 1/2 an inch tall. On the right and left ends of each peice, under the mat, ther is about a half inch wide foil border. Also printed(type) on the bottom opening of the mat is the name of each car depicted.
This was purchased in Babenhausen, Germany when my father was stationed there in 1955-1957. It displays exceptional prism colors when light hits it. Has very clear bell sound of fine lead crystal. The bowl is 3 footed with lid, there are 10 cups, 5 ladies and 5 men's, the ladle is a plastic composite. I remember my mother telling me she opted for the plastic ladle as she was afraid the crystal one would damage the bowl at some point. There are a few of the cups with small chipping on the lip. I don't find any on the bowl or lid. The particulars are as follows:
Size: Bowl, 8 1/2" High, 9 3/4" Diameter(widest point) Lid, 5 1/8" High, 7 3/4" Diameter, 1/2" Lip, Lid and Bowl 13 1/8" High. Woman's Cup, Bowl 2 3/8" High, 3 1/2" Diameter, Handle 1 1/8"H x 1"W. Man's Cup, Bowl 2 3/8" High, 3 1/2" Diameter, Handle 2 1/8"H x 1 1/8"W.
Weights: Bowl and Lid, 9 pounds 14.5 ounces. Woman's Cups vary from 7.3 ounces to 8.4 ounces, Man's Cup vary from 7.9 ounces to 9.2 ounces.
Ladle: Plastic composite, has yellowing to it. Tip of handle has Vitri 621. 14 1/2" long, Bowl part 3" long x 2 3/4" wide.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I would appreciate it greatly if anyone could shed some maker history and value to this set. Thank you so much, Sue
It is a pepsi bottle from Russia when they were bottling Pepsi. I do not have a picture at this time my digital camera is broken.
 A young girl doll about 32"-34" tall. Hair is very nice and has been protected with a fine net which covers the head. Eyes close and the facial features are hand painted with white little teeth.
The dress is perfect, as are the shoes. A little infant bottle is with her but probably wasn't originally.Â
It is framed on red 23" X 29" poster board with a barn like frame.
I bought this Remington bronze statue about 20 years ago from a Savings & Loan auction in Houston, Texas during the S & L crisis. An S & L owned it and it didn't have a base or whip in hand at the time. I just added these a few years ago. The foundry who added the base for me says that it was over 100 years old and could be one of Remington's originals and could be worth a lot of money ($250,000). It has a pose similar to his "Wooly Chaps" and "Bronco Buster" but has some differences in the final production models of these. It is unsigned and without any foundry markings. Nothing was noted underneath either before I added the base. Anyone know anything about original Remington pours? Thanks.
Can't attach pix! I can email them to you if interested: [email protected]
There is a note on the back of this indicating that the motor was replaced in 1980, and from what it sounds like, it may have been replaced with a motor from another Seth Thomas Clock. The stamp on the motor says 1969. the person who wrote the note obtained the clock in 1970. It does not say whether it was new at that time or if it was an antique. I have tried to find a similar clock on the internet, but have not seen any Seth Thomas clocks that have such a dark background or that look hand-made like this one. I don't know if it is a fake or something made to look old to celebrate the year the company was established, or if the wood work is actually from 1813. I'd imagine it is not worth much anyway with the battery powered motor replacement, but if anyone has any info, I'd appreciate it!

I bought this rocking chair over twenty year's ago at a yard sale.
The seat cover that I removed was of red and gold tapestry (it looked to be from the Victorian era). I wish I had left it alone. Underneath the tapestry and thick muslin cloth? and burlap? was what appeared to be ball's of cotton, straw and horse hair.
I have no idea where this chair was made or when. I'd love to know what kind of wood this is, what style, what year it might have been made and where. I was trying to decide if I should recover it or just throw it away. I can't see a trace of glue and the chair is very sturdy with no split's in the wood. I'd appreciate any information. Thanks

I've had this barbie for a while now but, I've never opened it. At the very least, 7years. (could be way longer) The box has some damage to it, I would say good-exellent condition. It's a collectors edition. It includes: Marilyn doll, dress, cluth, 2 pairs of shoes, glasses, bathing suit w/ brooch, cover up, doll stand, and the Certificate of Authenticity. Other then that I dont know much about it. =]
