Arizona Territorial Governor's Cigarette Case...

Category
Silver and Silver Overlay
Condition
Good
Description

Greetings, I have a sterling silver cigarette case once belonging to Governor George W.P. Hunt. Governor Hunt was territorial governor of Arizona and continued as state governor after Arizona became a state. He was our country's longest serving governor and was in office for decades interrupted only by a few years as ambassador to Siam. It was while serving as ambassador that he was given this case.
The case is a beautiful work of silver art by Hong Kong silversmith Kwon Man Shing who worked at his craft from 1875 to 1925. It was given to the governor by A.L. Waters. Mr. Waters was an engineer who traveled from California to Arizona in 1910 or 1911 and either started or worked at the pioneer foundry in Tucson.
The case was given to me by my adopted grandfather Mr. Noel Dockery who was born in Douglas Arizona in the 1890's. He met Governor Hunt while pushing a bicycle along a road in the hot Arizona sun. The governor came along and offered a ride. It was some years later that the case was given to him. He gave it to me in 1966.
Any input will certainly be appreciated. Thanks..

Category
Other
Condition
Excellent
Description

my wife and I would like are antique hand painted, handmade, brass vase. the vase stands 43 and a half inches tall, weighs approximately 20 to 30 pounds. After careful inspection of the vase, we could not find any distinguishable markings or stampings inside, or on the outside.
Lastly, we were unable to download or attach any of our pictures to this appraisal request, so I will need an alternate email address so I can send some pictures. All of the picture files what considerably larger than 2 Mb. Thank you for your prompt reply.

P.S. since I was unable to download any of my pictures because of their file size:, downloaded a picture Walt Disney's cheshire cat. This is not the item I wish to have appraised.

Reeds varsity style leather Detroit Red Wing Jacket

Category
Sports Memorabilia
Condition
Mint
Description

Reeds varsity style leather Detroit Red Wing Jacket. I believe the jacket is from the early 1950's. Sleeves and pocket seams are white leather while the rest of the jacket is red wool. Collar, waist and wrists are red and white stripes and they are stretchy. Buttons are white metal snap in style. Inside lining is a blueish grey silky material which is where the jacket is autographed by Alex Delvecchio. Left chest has the word Detroit, under that is the official logo and under that is the words Red Wings.  Insde of the collar has the tag that says Reeds Sportswear First In Quality. This jacket has never been worn and has been stored in plastic and is in imaculate condition. Any idea of its value?

Staffordshire Spaniel

Category
Ceramics and Porcelains
Description

I am after any assistance I can get with the following:

Single Staffordshire Spaniel appears to have a join line down each side as thought it has been molded in two pieces.

It has a small vent hole in the lower middle back section.

The base appears to be silightly concaved with the marking 10 or 01. The marking appears to be in ink.

I don't know much about the item other than it came to Australia with my great grandparents in the late 1880's.
