Do all Stickley and Stickley Brothers furniture have a decal, label, or distinguishing marks to identify them? I am purchasing a home from 1914 that the sellers claim is original Stickley style furniture that they want to sell with the home, however none of the furniture has any identifying labels. Only a few pieces have a written number that appears to be white crayon. How can I verify if the furniture is Stickley Brothers without a label or signature, and is there a reference catalog or website I can use?

I have a pair of marble bookends that are approximately 6" wide x 6" deep x 9" tall. They appear to be made of two different kinds of marble (possibly one is alabaster) and each weighs about 4 pounds. They are hand carved and feature men reading. The tag on the back indicates they came from a store in Spain. Who are the men depicted, and what is the value of these bookends?

I have a porcelain figurine with a mark resembling an H with an S over it. I inherited it many years ago and am curious about its value. Can you help identify the maker and estimate its value?

I have a plate made in Germany, possibly Imperial Bonn, with a number on the back that is hard to read, possibly 1755 or 4755. Can you provide information about its origin, value, and any relevant details?

I just bought a curio whatnot cabinet with a Rockford Frame and Fixture Company label on the bottom. It has a beveled mirror and curved glass, and is in rough shape. I'm having a restorer glue the pieces back together, but he advised against refinishing it. I've researched the company but have no idea of its value. All original pieces are still there. What is the value of this piece, and where should I consider selling it?
