I have an 1882 or 1883 Elgin Pocket watch in a hunters case with a very elaborate engraved design. I have looked up the serial number being 1193606 and confirmed it is an 11jewel, grade 94, hunters case size 6 (i think). There is a hallmark on the case that has a crown with a 5 point star above it-and I have been unable to find this anywhere online. The serial number of the case is 14293. The watch holds time very well, and is in overall excellent condition. There are scratches on the case and the color remains the same at the bottom of the scratches as the surface-so I am wondering if this is solid gold? There are no carat marks or anything like that. A guy online said if it was a certain year-it wasnt solid gold, but there are no years on the watch or case at all? The man I contacted sold Elgin watches on ebay and said mine was not an early model Elgin, nor did he think it was valuable at all really. I am no expert, but I see the movements that are for sale for repair parts on ebay for $50 or $60...and mine has the cool case it is in and is in nearly mint condition, and holds time to a degree that it doesnt lose even more than a second when set with a digital clock. 

I would love to hear it is worth a lot, obviously, but an accurate value is more important than a large dollar value-that is largely incorrect! The case apears to be what it has been in since it was made-if not this case, another one-but it is in too good of shape to have not been in a case. It my be engraved by hand, and if it is, well, it , would have taken a very long time and doen by someone with skill. I think one side has the sun on it, with rays coming out of it, and i do see flowers in the rays...I could be entirely wrong-it may be something else. Either way-I have always found this to be very cool...everything about it seems unique and made with care. I have read Elgin was a middle of the line manufacturer; they made decent quality watches, but not watches for the rich...and the fact that it still works-well that says a lot, to me anyways!

Any info would be greatly appreciated, Im sorry the pics arent more clear. 

I inherited this table and buffet from my grandmother. All she told me about this is that it is Duncan Phyfe.

The table  has 2 leafs, 2 king chairs, 4 regular chairs.

The buffet is large like a dresser.

This is a beautiful set of Noritake china that is a service for 12.  It contains:

dinner plates

soup bowls

small bowls

bread plates

salad plates

saucers and coffee cups

gravy boat

oval serving dish

creamer and sugar with lid

12" platter

large round serving bowl

This is a round ceramic tray with what appears to be a raised silver border and handles, although I cannot find any indication as to whether it's silver. There are three round legs on the bottom of the tray. The handles and silver border are both detailed. The ceramic is a creamy color with a detailed painting of three birds, a butterfly and flowers. On the bottom of the tray there are several markings. One is a date of "Dec. 1564," another is an engraved "A," and a printed "B28," along with another engraved "G4."

I have an H&K Tunstall china set that my mother found in an old house when I was young. It has stayed in the family  over 35 years and just recently was passed on to me. The name on the back is Montrose and it does have the green unicorn with H&K Tunstall written underneath. One of the dinner plates is chipped underneath and the gravy boat has a line that almost looks like a crack under the glaze. This is not a complete set. I have:

6 dinner plates; 6 salad plates; 3 dessert plates; 5 saucers; 6 tea cups; 6 soup bowls; 5 dessert bowls; 1 platter; 1 vegtable bowl; 1 gravy boat and dish.

My wish is to find out more about these items as I have not been able to found any information on the pattern and very little about H&K Tunstall.

Thank you for viewing my post.
