Don't know a lot about this piece except that it has been renovated by recovering with a cotton/ruberized hair fabric as pictured by a custom shop. Would love to know more about how much it is worth.
I have a porcelain doll that was given to me by and older lady she said that her mom bought her the doll when she was a little girl and now she is 98 and I wanted to know how much its worth.
I have a bedroom set that was my parents, they married in 1954 so I have to assume that the furniture is from the 50's . I believe it to ce cherrywood mahogany but not being an expert, I have no idea. It has the usual nicks and scratches that normal use for the last 50 years would entail.
It consists of a fullsize frame, large dresser, 2 endtables and a large bureau
We have what we think is a "Baldy" Baldowski caricature and would like to know the value of it if any.
Baldowski was a caricature artist and was famous for Civil Rights cartoons.
"Baldowski, known by the pen-name "Baldy," depicted the local, national, and international news of his day in the editorial pages of the Augusta Chronicle, Miami Herald, and Atlanta Constitution." [ http://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/baldy/?Welcome]
I have a Nu-type Model B lamp I inherited from my mother--since she collected early Americana and I think purchased it in the late '50s or early '60s, I'm guessing it was from the '30s. It has been electrified (probably in the early '60s or earlier).
It has a ruby red diamond quilted shade. I don't know how old the shade is, it is rough on the bottom edge as if cut, has a vertical seam as if 2 halves were joined together, has a few tiny bubbles in the glass, and has a small bump of glass on one of the top flutes (hand blown?)--my search turned up other colors but not red. I am attaching pictures. There are no chips or cracks.
