Collection was left to me , i have no daughters to pass it down to so hope to appraise and get it sold to someone that can value this piece.

Cameo is possible a shell, not sure. The stem has JHP signature . my research from the cameo image leads me to think it is from the 1850's. no ear is seen on the image

 cameo is set by prongs, no glues. Carving is very beautiful. light test from behind cameo is very good.  Woman image , facing right.  possible that it is a feather on her head wrap.

I really have not been able to find more thus far

This item seems as a water painting, signed by artist Amy Cross (1856 - 1939). It's beautifully framed and in excellent condition.

Very intricate silver  spoon, it did have a stone in the stem ( Flower shape centre) of the spoon but this has gone.  There are no halmarks at all.  An unusual design all over the spoon and on the end of the spoon, that looks like a face.  Found in a second hand shop.  Paid .50 cents AUD

Does anyone have any information on the value, history, or meaning of this set?

There is a crest or coat of arms on the plates and cups, with a lot of gold trim and inlays.  The crest has large black birds holding something like a wreath, and a crown, sword and arrow.  The plates and saucers have very intracate gold edging an inlays.

On the back, marked with a gold seal: Grand Depot, E. Bourgeois, 21 Rue Drouot, Paris

10 large plates, 8 saucers and 8 cups

I haven't run across a pattern/design of this type before, could anybody shed some light on the approximate value, time period, history, etc.?

My great grandmother gave me this item, it was her fathers who was a member of the ku klux klan, I myself am a Hispanic American so it is not really an item of my interest to keep I know there are collectors out though who may serve better use to such an item so I was trying to see how much it could potentially be worth if anything.  The top part appears to look like a night looks like it could be hung like a necklace and the circular part has markings when the circular part is spun fast it creates a little mirage image of a cross surrounded by the three K's from the markings on each side.

This is a photograph of one of my family members, I would like to know the time period that it was taken. I know that the gentlemen's daughter in the picture was born 1901 if that would help distinguish the period. If I had a guess on it I would say he was born approx. in 1880 and served in the spanish american war in 1898.
