I’m not an expert, mostly just find things through googling and hope to find some info. @lovejoy here has some really good answers so hopefully @lovejoy will see your post.
Re: Crawford Furniture Tallboy 6 Drawers
Comment by Lovejoy

It's in the Colonial Revival style which has been revived a number of times. Pieces like this were made from the 1950's through 70's. There really is not a lot of demand for pieces of this style and vintage currently, comparable pieces often sell at Goodwill stores for under $150.00.

The marking is one used by the Federal Silver Company from 1920-60. A lot depends on the condition of the plating, if the plating is worn or damaged it's value is largely decorative. Give it a good polish and see.
Re: Antique/Vintage Barley Twist. Hall Stand
Comment by Lovejoy

These tend to be late Victorian pieces, most are maple with a mahogany dye stain, others are oak, which has a distinctive "Tiger" grain. Values for furniture like this peaked way back in the late 1980's and has declined a great deal since then. At auction most sell for under $150.00.

I really appreciate your help. Do you expertise on other types of lights? I have a metal rectangular hanging light, might be considered a parlor or a cafe' light (?) it has a few light sockets to it and on the top is a glass ball and then the chain that it hangs from. I know I saw one on Ebay a few years ago for 500.00 and of course now I can't find it...I have too many antiques & vintage I know nothing about. If I can identify half this stuff and sell it all I might be able to go on vacation if we can ever do that again...lol Thanks again you're a peach. Anna

Yes, the Crest isn’t hand painted. There’s another pair of those on Worthpoint but no info but it would seem those (the Crest) were mass produced. I did see some Crest that had better glass so not sure what’s up with that. Hopefully @lovejoy will check in and have some info.

This is closer to what it is as far as the brass parts and potential origin.
Late 19th Century Blue Opaline Glass French Oil Lamp, circa 1880https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/lighting/table-lamps/late-19th-century...
what do you think? All the items from the estate were high end and crest doesn't appear to be in that category.

Hi, thanks that is the closest I have seen to it but still not quite there. The lamp you found seems to have all brass whereas the one I am trying to ID seems to be a mix of bronze on the very top area and then brass below. From what I read it was common in France to adapt parts from oil lamps to electric early on.

I found a similar type of lamp on eBay made by Crest Company of Chicago. Hope that can help in your search. If I find more I’ll add to this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Tall-Crest-Co-Lamp-Hand-Painted-Orienta...

Are you sure it doesn’t say FB? I have an identical ice bucket that is made by FB Rogers Silversmith.
