Victorian Artist / Paint Set Imported by Wadsworth Brothers & Howland Co ( from Paris France)

Circa 1880 - 1890's

Estimate Value : $220 - $300 US based on market and demand ... nice piece could sell for a little more if timing right. The links I provide will aid in providence and add value ...  You should put this for $400 replacement on your house contents insurance .... 

Thanks kindly for sharing ... 

Peace and Blessings Always  ..
