This egg was inherited and I would just like to know if it is valuable, or just an ordinary egg. The egg is in mint condition and has an accompaning brass stand. The egg itself is clear and encases several bubbles in the glass. The design is painted on and looks like a bluish-purple fountain (see picture)
These Original 1966 to 1969 Johnny PayCheck finished master tapes, thought to have been burned and destroyed by fire, where actually put for collateral on a loan in a Nashville, Tn., bank. The debt was never repaid, and these master tapes were purchased from the bank in 1989. We would like to have these appraised and validated. We feel the rarity of these make these valuable.

This table and chair were recently given to my mother by a lady who moved to a retirement home. This lady is 104. She said they were in the house her husband and she bought about 60 years ago. My mother doesn't think they are worth much, though she was offered $1000 by her doctor. Am trying to convince her not to 'refinish' them, which for her, is pouring scalding water on to remove the patina and maybe throwing on a coat of varnish (shudder). I live in CA and she in Iowa. She sent thse pics and I have not seen the furniture, though she says there are a few small mars on them. There is a lot of writing on the bottom of the chair, though she hasn't checked to see what it says. My mother is 84 and am afraid she will stick it in a garage sale. If you could give me a ball park figure of their worth, I would know how worried to get. Thanks!
