Oriental heavy plate. Blue & white with hallmark on back,
writing and people front, outside setting.  My opinion, made as
 show plate, not for food. Would like ballpark figure for worth.
 Really would like to know what it says.  Your Bounty
 

I need to know if Derby Silver Company was around in 1836 and if this is original. Or is it an added marking. The top of the flash removes and pulls up into a small cup, and collapses into a screw on cover. There is a floral decorative band about 2" high and towards the top of the flash. The flash is darkened with age and the silver plating is worn. If anyone has information on this piece, I would be greatful. I can provide pictures if requested.

There is no date of publication, so the only indication of the publlishing date is in the author's preface, which is dated.

I found this beautiful Dining set at an estate sale. I paid 165.00 for it, they wanted 195.00. It is extremely heavy, and in excellent condition. I've tried to look online to find some information on this but I am just having no luck at all. I found this site and thought ok someone might know, this is made by Rockingham which is what it says on the underside of the table, also under one of the chairs I found a sticker that says Cape Cod Furniture Gift Shops, Buffalo N.Y.

I would like to know if I got a good deal and how much this may have cost new and what is is worth now. Any help would be great and any more information on this furniture I would love to know more about it.

Thankyou
