Description

Shadow box containing a bone (or some composite) carving of a sailing ship with gold painted highlights on a grey wool background.  The brass plaque (picture included) reads Flying cloud 1850.  The back has a sticker saying Turner Wall Accessory (picture included).  The frame (or more specific wood box) would appear to me to be walnut or possibly mohoggany with a glass front.  The back also has a signiture (see picture).

 I have one exactly the same as this one.  What would be the best way to sell it?  Was it ever appraised?  I see one on eBay for $99 and I would never sell mine that cheap.

Thanks

These are not that old or valuable. Turner Wall Art was made by the Turner Manufacturing Company. The company was based in Chicago and mass produced a wide variety of modestly priced decorative items until they went out of business in the the 1970's. At auction shadow boxes by them often sell for under $100.00.

I have one just like it, I bought it at a storage locker sale, for 40 dollars. I took it apart  Because i was curious of what it could be made of.  I'm Sorry to say, But it's made out of plastic. I like mine, And to me it was worth 40 dollars.
