Oval watercolor of prima ballerina by Fred Penney in original frame. Frame has some carved corners missing and was painted white. The actual painting is oval shaped and the back contains a short biography of Penney and what appears to be a pencil artists signature...please see photos. Painting measures app. 20 inches at its widest. Frame measures 25" wide by 21" tall. Glass is intact, paper backing has been removed and taped. Please see photos of BACK of frame which has some issues but also depicts the original wood. I have done some research on the artist who passed away in 1988. I was raised in the Chicago suburbs and acquired this painting in the 1980's from a friend who received this from her grandfather, an apparent friend of the artist while he lived and worked in a northwest suburb of Chicago, Illinois. Any idea of the value?? Highly interested in any comments

This is a three blade Ulster Boy Scout Knife. It is approxiamtely from 1927-1935 and it clearly has the metal Boy Scout emblem on the handle. It's in good condition, although it has been used, and there are no broken blades. Any advice and guidance on this knife would be appreciated. Thanks!
Carved oriental wooden nesting tables. Intricate carved tops ( a lighter wood or possibly ivory??) under glass depict a story, each one a closer view. Legs, sides ans fronts are a darker wood with a reddish hue- all carved with smallest table having a tiny drawer. These tables are in good condition with a crack to the largest table through the top and another to one corner. I note a repair to the quarter round trim that surrounds the glass on one table, well done, matches good. There are no manufacturers stamps on the bottoms. Item has been in my family since the 80's, I believe they were purchased at an estate sale in the Illinois/Wisconsin area. They are clean and well taken care of.
