Can you appraise my big metal world relief for insurance purposes? Some spacers that hold the metal to the wood have broken, and there are a couple of spots on the wood frame/set piece that are damaged. Also, it seems to have months listed on the outside edges. Pictures are attached.

What are the values and approximate ages of the China pieces I inherited, including a Nippon piece with a "Forget-Me-Not" pattern, a Conrad & O'Connor decorative hand-painted porcelain plate with a violet pattern and gilded trim, and an antique Carnation McNicol commemorative Gibson Girls decorative plate with a gilded ruffled rim?

How can I tell if my ladder back rush seated chairs are worth anything? I do not see any maker's marks or serial numbers, just an initial. I do not know how old the chairs are, but they are in very good condition. These were bought at an auction.

I’m considering buying an oil painting on canvas, signed and framed, measuring 29” by 33”. The seller is asking $250 but would go down to $150. I’m wondering if it’s worth the investment for both personal use and potential resale value. Is it a good buy?

I have a Nippon vase from the late 1800s to early 1900s in excellent condition with a specific stamp. I would like to know more about its characteristics, value, and if it can be classified as a Nippon mirage vase.
