LIMITED EDITION 520/1250
MASTER PATTERN IS RETIRED FOREVER.
NO SIGNATURE THAT I CAN SEE. THE BACKSIDE SAYS F.W.DEVOE AND CO. AND FROM WHAT RESEARCH I HAVE DONE THE BOARD IS FROM THE 1850'S BECAUSE THE COMPANY INFO DOES NOT INCLUDE ITS CHICAGO STORE ADDRESS.
PAINTING NEEDS TO BE CLEANED AND IT CAME IN A GILT FRAME

I believe this figure is made of porcelain, but I'm not sure how to tell porcelain from other ceramic materials, so cant be certain. The figure has two, very small 'pinholes' or air holes, one through the bottom on the underside of the base, and another through the tree trunk behind the figurines legs.
As you can see from the pics, it is a figure of a man carrying a basket of fruits or vegetables. There is a line of gilding around the brim of the hat, the sleeve cuffs, the front of the shirt, and the front of the base. The other colors used on the figure can be clearly seen in the photos, so won't go into detail.
The head and facial features are rather small and finely carved. There is nothing particularly ornate about this figurine, but it does seem to be of good quality and workmanship.
There are a total of three marks on the underside of the base. Two are small, handpainted marks in a dark reddish brown...one is a capital "F" and is located on the unglazed outer rim of the base bottom. The other is located on the inner, glazed portion and appears to be a capital 'L' followed by the number '18' or 'L18'. Then there is a third larger mark in the center. It is an orangish-red, and may be a stamp of some kind. Part of it is faded, making it rather difficult to read, but as best I can tell, it says 'Old Staffordshire'. Something always seemed a bit suspect about this stamped mark. See pics
Thanks
will attach pictures
I'm told this is a William and Mary style table..it is a 6 leg configuration with 35" x 14" drop leaves. The middle leaf folds out from underneath the center of the table. With the center leaf up and both side leaves up, it measures 35" x 60" x 30". The finish is in very good condition having been refinished 15 years ago. I estimate it to be about 75 years old as my mother got it from her mother-in-law over 50 years ago. I need to sell it as I am downsizing and have no room for it and am interested in what the value is.
D.A. Moore Saddle. Built in Louisville, KY around 1900, maybe a bit earlier.
Great Condition. All original. Please provide approximate worth.
Thanks
The prints and the card were sent back to my mother from my father who was stationed in Japan in 1944. The prints have been rolled up since being received and have what looks like rice paper between them. They look to be handpainted and the paper they are painted on is about the weight of wallpaper.
The picture on the card is only attached at the top and looks to be handpainted. I thought it might be a post card looking at the back.
I would like to know if they have any value.
