I was in the U.S. Navy on my first Med Cruise when I purchased this as a gift for my Mother. She wants to know it's value. It's hand painted in 24K gold with very nice flowers and other designs.
The 1903 liberty crown nickel shows a woman facing left 13 stars around the top the back has a "V" inside a wreath
The 1883 liberty crown nickel shows a woman facing left 13 stars around the top , it shows in detail the face, crown, curl down the back of her neck. on the back is "V" inside a wreath. This one is in excellent condition.
I also have 2 coins dated 1944 with an Eagle standing on an emblem - one is one centavo, one is five centavos. on the back of both 1994 coins is a man with a tool and "Filipinas". Were these minted during the war?
I also have 1 1896 Indian head penny , on the back is ONE CENT inside a wreath. I have many, many foreign coins. I don't know where to start. Could you please give me some direction? Thank You. Ralph Thompson
I received from a client in 1998 as a gift to me, my client was given this horse as repayment for past due fees on storage space from a Chinese import company in the port of Long Beach CA
The horse was very cautiously stored in a wood box, the box exterior covered in linen and interior is cushioned in white silk, the storage box included a receipt of $1250.00 USD, which I assumed was a portion of the repayment for past due fee to my client- I would not know?
The horse was originally fully covered in clay and about 5 years ago the clay was removed by a family member not knowing either right or wrong some of the clay residue remains in some areas including the base.
The bottom of the base has a #13 carved on the clay and a Chinese Stamp?
Let me know if you would like to see more photos or if you know of a local appraiser?
Thank you for your time and your professional opinion. Marcus~
I found them in an old house that i helped a friend clean out a couple of years ago, and beyond that i know nothing else. Someone told me that they thought they could be gold.
This gorgeous dressor has a jewelry or cady section on top.
The fan inlay design on the outside has also made me curious to the history
of this piece. It still has the wooden wheels on the bottom
of each of the legs. I have restored it to good condition!
My mother gave it to me after my father in law passed away and
she believed that it was passed down to his mother!!
Please help me find out the history and other pieces that may
go with this unique furniture design!!
