I found this in a crawlspace of a house I just purchased in Sandy Oregon. Sandy is an old mining town and the house was built in the early part of the century.

This table is described as a Empire Card Table, Lyre Motive(without strings). It is circa 1815 and was purchased in the 1970's by my mother. It is generally is good shape. It has little metal wheels attatched on the bottom and the top folds open.

This is a wooden trunk with leather straps.  It does have a removeable insert tray.  Fairly good condition.  One broken leather strap.  The brand is Neverbreak G&S.  L. Goldsmith & Son trunk.  Made in Newark, New Jersey.  Time Era between 1910-1940. 24''x36''x13''. I do have pictures but can not get them to upload. 

This set was passed down from my grandmother. The set itself is in great condition, although unfortunately a leg from the tray is missing.  This was purchased in the late 1960's or early 1970's and is marked "Towle" with a "T" or a cross  it's difficult to tell.  I'd like to find and approximate value for the set and also the pattern used.

Can anyone help me in finding out more about this piece? I found it while cleaning out my parents garage. Is it an antique? Should I bother to get it appraised? or do you think it is just a solid piece of furniture from the early 1900's? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
