looking for maker and est value.

Has flint and wheel lighting. Bottom unscrews to wet wadding with fluid. ornate.

It is a very comfortable desk chair with backrest. Heavy springs make it possible to lean back, yet provide firm support for your back because of the tightness of the springs. There are workings to raise the seat. The chair rotates freely. Wood base; heavy metal workings; wood frame back; metal castings w/ ball bearings for the wheels - probably hard rubber wheels. The wood has lost it's lacquer sheen, but the wood is in good shape.

155 is stamped in white paint on the bottom of the chair along with other paint markings that are illegible.

Note the logo label in picture.

Am researching this item for my Dad.

From what little information I have discovered,

I know it is from 1877 NSW, Australia.

The head on the medal is of Hercules Robinson, Governor of NSW at the time.

I have a suspicion that it is from the 1877 NSW Exhibition?

There is another one at the Powerhouse Museum Collection

(That is where the photo is from):

http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=308114&img=854…

Description Medal, awarded to Sir Hercules G. Robinson KCMG, Governor, 1877. Registration number N376-1

And it says that that one was actually awarded to the Governor

so I dont know if this was part of a collection given to him, or part of a collection made for the Exhibition and the Governor was Given one of the coins or what.

I am pretty sure that mine didnt belong to the governor but I could be totally mistaken.

Any infomation on history (or value) of this item,

what it was used for or given to, who it was made by -

anything at all really would be great!

Thanks :)

REED & BARTON 13.5" TEAPOT READS 1795 WITH THE (9) ON THE BOTTOM.

I am just trying to sell this piano. We are moving, and my husband has a bad back, also no room for it.

If anyone has any info on what these generally run for. Has some scratches. Some keys don't work.  

I have this beautiful and kind of mysterious small bracelet or large napkin holder that is probably early Danish or Scandinavian made. It is solid Silver 830S and about 1 ¾” in diameter. The design on one side appears to be a knight in a mail garment and a lady holding some sort of staff. They seem to be emerging from a castle keep on a ladder, eloping or escaping. The other side is a village with spired and mosque like buildings, sort of Byzantine looking. Floating above this is a man sitting up in a trunk or coffin like box.  There is a hallmark and 830S inside the band. I would appreciate any information on this item Thank you.
