I bought this hand painted sign at all estate sale and the estate sale company could not give me any history on this piece. To me, it looks like an old-timey circus sign. The paint is vibrant and chippy and the sign was painted on old pine (?) plywood. It has two eye loops at the top for hanging. Can anyone help in determining the age of this sign and what is value is? Thanks!

This was my grandmothers, and is in really good condition. On the bottom of both the cup and saucer it has “hand painted” “made in occupied Japan” with a “gold china” what I’m assuming is a blue and gold logo

I have an old, wooden desk that I'm pretty sure is an antique and I'm trying to figure out what it could be worth. I think it's a writing desk, not sure what kind of wood but maybe mahogany? It also came with a skeleton key. Any information would be greatly appreciated ☺️

1800s Japanese embroidered silk textile featuring Ohio’s state seal and coat of arms. Never restored to my knowledge. Frame is damaged and the textile has a slight rip and stain from aging. I believe this is an exported Japanese textile from the 1890s that was produced for the US Navy who occupied Japan at that time. Naval officers often requested/commissioned these pieces from Japanese artists who handcrafted them. They were then exported. The 44 stars would represent 44 US states which indicates a date around 1890. 

I have absolutely no idea what this is. The best suggestion I have gotten is a vinaigrette, but I'm not really sure that's what it is after looking at pictures of other ones. I believe it is made of some kind of bone. It has no markings of any kind on it. I've had it for well over a year so I would love to find out what exactly it is. Thank you!
