I would like to know more about a rocking chair. It has a maker's mark and is from New Orleans Furniture Mfg Co. Some parts are loose, and I do not know its age. Is there anything else important the Antiques Appraiser should know?

I have a print (565/1000) by N. Grandmaison of an Indian. The description is “longtime squirrel, Mesamikayisi Blood Indian (Cardston, Alberta 1938).” I’ve researched some history and am wondering about the original artwork's worth and if this particular print has value. The print is in very good condition, having been in the same frame since 1989, possibly longer. What additional information should I provide, and what is the value of this print?

I have a Henry Ford reproduction of a roll-top desk. I need to get an estimate on its value. The desk is in good condition, and I have researched that 250 of these were made before WWII. Production shut down to support the war. I also found a letter in the desk dated 1939 from a woman who was living on the Plaza in Kansas City, MO, the first outdoor shopping mall in the US, designed after the plaza in Seville, Spain. Where would I find a maker's mark or serial number, and what else should the Antiques Appraiser know?

I bought a Gorham water pitcher that I think is sterling and has feet. The stamp on the bottom says VH 342. I'm wondering if it has any value and if it needs to be cleaned. What condition is it in and how old is it?
