Re: Old Amati? violin
Comment by galssfull

Thank you. I did suspect it was fake lable The condition of the violin is not playable. It would need alot of repair. It did come in an old wood coffin case. Which I think was made in 1920. That was worth my $15.00 investment.

The labels are fake on these, most were made in Europe 1900-1930, primairily Germany and sold through mail order catalogs. Some were very well made, but need a physical examine to determine their quality by playing.
Re: Baby marked Nippon
Comment by Lovejoy

Nippon marks generally predate 1921, Nippon being the Japanese representation for the word "Japan". Interesting little guy, but no big value.
Re: Wooden ornate desk
Comment by Lovejoy

Based on the images it's not as old as it looks, it's an Asian Import designed to resemble an antique. Most like this date no earlier than the 1980's. Nice piece though, we'd retail one for about $400.00.

HAND MADE WOODEN TRIPTYCH NATIVITY MADE IN ITALY ~ SIGNED
These pieces are all fairly modern, very few like this predate the 1950's, made for the tourist market and offered in street markets, particularly in Rome. While not entirely machine made, they are made in multiples from the same pattern. Values tend to be limited for them at the present time.

Re: Vintage chandelier with pendants and ceramic flowers

One Early 20th Century European Chandelier
Based on your images, this chandelier appears to be similar in vintage to the house it was found in. Most like this are 1920's to late 30's European imports, Italy being one of the biggest exporters of chandeliers of this type, very similar examples are still in production. Demand for chandeliers of this type is currently modest, due mainly to downsizing Baby Boomers who have been flooding the market with decorative items, lighting and furniture.

Just curious if you ever received any information on these? My recently deceased Grandmother has the exact same ones and we are looking to sell.
Re: Simmon Steel Desks -- 2 different styles
Comment by antiquegma

Thanks for answering. I though around the 30's. Was these designed by Norman Bel Giddes? The second desk is the one that has me stumped. I am yet to find that design. I was curious as to which one was older. Thanks again.
Re: mid 1900s Revell's desk
Comment by Lovejoy

Most pieces like these tend to date from the mid 1920's through to the outbreak of World War Two (1939) Revell was a well known company that sold household goods, its founder died in 1931 after jumping or falling out of a hotel room window. Pieces like this were mass produced items, so values still are modest for them. Comparable pieces often sell for under $150.00at auction.
Re: Victorian Sofa and chair
Comment by Lovejoy

These are actually 20th century pieces, unlikely to predate the 1930's and very hard to sell in the current market, under $200.00 at auction.
