At birth, I was sent a teddy bear with articulated limbs, made of burlap from Germany. I am now 74 years old and would like to know if it has value. It has no buttons in the ears and was told that Germans saved fur for soldiers' clothes during the war. I will be sending pictures of the bear soon.

I have a bowl measuring 10 inches across and 5 inches deep, with a maritime theme. The outside features transfers or paintings of two ships (sailing), one named "Flying Cloud" and the other "Three Brothers", along with two poems called "The Sailor's Tear". Inside, there is a picture or crest of "The Shipwright Arms". The overall color is a mottled rose, and there are no visible trade or manufacturing marks except a small "M". Can you provide any information about its value and age?

I found a brass desktop magnifying glass in my dad's house, which seems to be from his uncle's belongings and could date back to the early 1900s. It consists of two parts that are both magnifiers and screw together for greater magnification. What is it, how old is it, and is there any additional information needed to appraise it?
