Re: Unknown Actres Signature Early 1900s
Comment by Joseph

The signature from the "Stratford Chicago" appears to be the well know English actor Frederick Kerr (October 11, 1858 - May 3, 1933). He was well known for stage and film both in America and England. Here's a Wikipedia page on him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Kerr#:~:text=Frederick%20Kerr%20

The "English Actor" signature looks to be William Harcourt, but searching for an English actor with that name nothing substantial comes up. Hope that's of some help.

Re: Oval Baker Furniture Table
Comment by Lovejoy

Well certainly a very good deal for a dollar :} Baker is a well known furniture company, making furniture since 1893. This piece dates much later and is pretty contemporary, most like this date from the 1980's. With a bit of a clean up we'd retail one for about $150.00

Re: Unknown pair if Austrian made plates
Comment by Lovejoy

Any item with a country of origin mark such as "Made In Austria" tend to post date 1891 and closer to 1900. These appear to have been made by Gebruder Schutz, values vary. I have seen pairs sell at auction from $100.00 to $250.00 in the last year.

Your set dates from the second quarter of the 20th Century, most of these date from the 1920's. It was made in Canada, the company that made began operations about 1917. Here is a link for you. https://sdhsociety.weebly.com/2018-tales-of-our-town.html
Re: Antique Drop Leaf Table w/ Turned Legs
Comment by Lovejoy

This table is old, in the "Country Sheraton" made as late as the 1840's, but has had a lot of work done on it, the top may even have come off another table and cut to fit.
Re: Side Table
Comment by Lovejoy

It's quite a modern Federal Revival style piece. The style has never really been out of production very long, most like that date from the second quarter of the 20th Century.
Re: Unknown Actres Signature Early 1900s
Comment by Ariel1920

Hi! This is an interesting collection of signatures you have. Unfortunately I was only able to confidently identify one which was your second photo. The autograph is that of Henry E. Dixey an American actor popular in the 1900s, he even has a wiki pagehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_E._Dixey
The autograph is very similar to another one he signed which you can see here https://www.historyforsale.com/henry-e-dixey-autograph-quotations-double...
I hope you are able to get the rest identified!
