This chair was purchased at a Kansas garage sale along with some other items. Based on the tag, I believe it was used by employees at an IRS field office, but I don't know exactly when and who manufactured the chair. There are three tags on the back. At the top a brass tag that says "I.U. 1344" and another brass tag towards the seat of the chair that reads "5701." Then there is a sticker above that number that says "Treasury Department" and "Internal Revenue Service."

It's a real pretty "Victor Silver Co" jewelry box. I need to clean it up a bit. It opens and closes properly, but it's missing most of the inner lining and it has one "ding" on it near the front casing. It doesn't wobble, it stands up properly and neatly. It has the seal on it which says: "Victor Silver Co" "Quadruple Plate" "Pat Aug 21 1906" "6138"
I'm just curious what its value is and how to properly care for it. It is very nice to look at, and I may want to give it to my daughter one day soon.

This belonged to my grandmother, and my mother always referred to it as a "Hummel"; I assumed she had bought it on a European trip in the late '50s. I am not sure it is a Hummel at all, based on what little I actually know about Hummels. It is a hollow ceramic figure about 5" tall, and depicts a young boy in classic bellboy uniform, laden with suitcases. A dog sits at his right heel. "Little Bellboy" is written on the bottom, along with the artist's mark (I assume) AHIL. I am more curious about it than anything, however I am listing it for sale.

Update: thanks for the response below. I'll leave this up for a week or so, and will consider offers in the range noted.

The bridge is cracked, and I was wondering if it is worth it to repair it or not? What would the violin be worth if it were in good condition? As is? Any input would be much appreciated!
I have included some pictures.

belonged to my late grandmother- I really don't have any idea how old it is, or when she bought it.

I was told this might be early 20th century? It is wood with gesso.
