This sofa is in good condition and has been in my family for over 60 years.

I know very little about the piece, except that it is made of solid pine wood.

The top has been recently sanded down.

I have included a picture of the nails, if that is of any help.

I would like as much information as possible that can be deduced from the photographs.

This is a beautiful pedestal type compote or basket. It has a handle with cutwork design and etched pelican? or bird and vine in the raised center of the inside. It makes a beautiful centerpiece with fruit or decorative balls. Used many times with silver candlesticks and very much admired.

Bed was very dirty. I cleaned it with Murphy's Oil Soap and then took the pictures. I'd like to know if it has any value before I decide if I'm going to refinish it as it is or convert it to a regular bed frame.

many LIFE Magazines from the 80's. i have one with Princess Diana on the cover. Barbara Streisand, Brook Shields in a swim suit cover.

An elderly gentleman that live in the same town as I had passed away. I heard he had a life size clown, I asked if they were going to sell her and they said you can have the thing it is creepy. She was covered with a sheet. I brought her home and realized that there is a name on her had with the '88 year. She has intricate beeding and he heart balls that hang from her jester hat are real heavey. They almost feel like lead.

I don't know anything else about her history. Or her condition because I don't know what she was like brand new.

We call her Miss Maria, from the name on her hand.
