I need to know the maker and the value
We were told by a Howard Fogg collector that it was indeed a original and it should be estimated around 3000.00 to 5000.00. We are unable to find this particular train, we have found all the others he has painted. I just wondered if this one did not get completed or accepted. There are no markings on the back only brown stains where it was once framed. This is all we know. I can provide more pictures if needed.
There are quite fine and intricate. I would love to get some idea of what they might be worth. I'd love to get some idea of their worth or at least how I might go about finding out.
HistoryAntique Beveled Premier Mirror The mirror was brought over from England to the United States around the 1860’s or earlier. George Joseph Marott I was the owner of a very fine shoe store established in 1884, as well as developing an extremely elaborate hotel, “The Marott”, a 2.5 million dollar hotel that displayed the grandeur of a charming lifestyle from 1926 to the mid 1950’s. Mr. Marott’s shoe store and hotel was located in Indianapolis, IN. The elegant mirror found the perfect show-place in the lobby of THE MAROTT hotel from 1926 to the mid 1950’s. The Marott Hotel had many distinguished and important guests visit the hotel to only make notice of themselves  in this 9’ exquisite towering beveled mirror. Prominent guests such as Bob Hope, Clark Gable, Milton Berle, Betty Grable and John F. Kennedy stayed at the elegant hotel during its brilliancy. Sir Winston Churchill and his family visited the hotel in 1932. Even the great depression did not dull the glitter of society at the Marott Hotel. The mirror has imaged some splendorous history. In 1946, George Joseph Marott passed away leaving this masterpiece to his nephew, George Joseph Marott II. At the passing of George Joseph II, he left it to his daughter. The Marott Hotel was voted by the Indiana Historical Society to keep the history standing and remains to be the oldest hotel in Indianapolis, IN.  Â
I do not have the capability to insert a photograph and have included as much information as I have, above.Â
it is a dinner plate
Twin bed set that is convertable into bunk beds, with dresser and desk. "MONTERY" with an upside down horseshoe is branded into the back of each piece. Bottom of desk drawer says desert dust and capwell with the number 780 on it. Each item also has notes on them from the manufacture.
I have no clue of the value of this set. It's a probable wedding gift from the 50s.
Unsure of the history or value of this piece. It has been in my family for at least 40 years.
Ex-brother in law lived in Chicago collected antiques and travel all over the world,bought several paintings and furniture.Before he passed he told my sister that this painting of the old man that he had paid a lot of money and that it was worth a lot, just don't know how much he said it was worth.
