This is a Duncan Phyfe Style dropleaf table that has three leaves, it is mahogany I think. The Chairs have stickers that say Northwest Chair Co. I would like to know the age of the table and chairs and how much they are worth.
This is a print by W.J. Huggins,Marine Painter to his Majesty, 1830, engraved by E. Duncan, of the HMS Winchester. not sure when the print was made but the inscription below the print states "To Edward Griffith Colpoys Esq,Vice Admiral of the White. This Plate of the HMS Winchester is respectfully dedicated by Capt. C. J. Austen and the Officers of that ship" I believe Admiral Colpoys nominated Capt. Austen to command the Winchester in 1830 - 1831. so I suspect this Plate is approx. that old as I suspect it was a gratitude from Austen for the promotion. It is in good condition.
1987 Hummel Spice Rack with 24 jars. Each jar has its own child or children painted on it. The jars are rimmed in 24 carat gold. The 2 shelf rack is made of wood and has a 3 slot pull out drawer at the bottom. It was well taken care of and is in very good shape.
This chair, manufactured by H.Krug of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada on March 5/1955, was used by a Bell Telephone operator at the switchboard from that date until an unknown year when it was to be thrown out. My father worked for Bell Canada and got to take it home and save it from being disposed of. It has been around our family as long as I can remember. It is a fairly solid chair and it is quite comfortable to sit in. From what information I have found, it may be made of white oak but I am not certain. It could be for sale if the right offer was made.
This was givin to my wife when she was born in 1952. We got married in 1972 and I have lugged this thing around the country. We would like to know some history and what it might be worth. Not that we would ever sell it, it's to priceless to us. But we have two daughters and one of them will get it.
Thank you!!
