12 inch Red Amber Kuan Yin Goddess Figurine.  Has recently come into my possession and was asked to see if figurine has any dollar value.  It has been in my family for many, many years.  I don't know much about it.  I have done some research on the internet but was unable to locate one like it.  Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.  So any information you can give me would be very helpful.

Could someone please help me determine who painted this painting and if it has a value?  You can read the signature on the painting and I believe it is P.Wait. 

Painting of two men standing in a boat with other boats in the harbor as well.

This painting has been  in my family since the early 1920s.  That is all I know of it and any help would be appreciated greatly.

Can someone please identify this peice? It has zero markings and it seems quite unique.

Thanks

antique, ivory chess set...hand carved. half the pieces natural and half stained brown with black detailing to enhance the carved detailing.

Blade: 456mm in length and 38mm at widest point Hilt: 145mm in length and 82mm at widest point Scabbard: 491mm in length and 51mm at widest point In several areas of the hilt and scabbard it appears to have woven grass or reeds into intricate patterns. Details: SCABBARD - There is a carving of what appears to be either a dragon or a serpent, riding on what looks like water or the wind.There is also a carving of a mask and another that is shaped like an archery bow or possibly a pair of wings. There is one more carving which I think resembles an hourglass or possibly a compass. HILT - The entire hilt itself appears to be a carving of a horse or an animal similar to that form, it has no eyes but more carvings found on its head(these are hard to describe). It seems to be made of the same wood as the scabbard. BLADE - It's a rather small blade to be that of a machete. It could be made of either steel or iron.
