I have an Elgin pocket watch with serial number 37084542, passed down from my uncle who worked in the gold mines in Timmins, Canada. The watch has been in storage for over 50 years with no damage. I would like to know more about its value and how it works specifically. Can you help?

I have a large prayer rug that I acquired from a friend who lived overseas many years ago. I’m trying to determine how to have it valued/authenticated. The rug has a tear in the lower bottom part and another tiny tear, but the colors are deep and it’s in fairly good condition. I am located just North of Orlando, FL. What should I do to gather information about this rug and have it valued?

I have a set of cufflinks that I believe are Art Nouveau in design and made of 14K gold. They are not marked, but a jeweler confirmed their gold content. One has been resealed on the back. Can you appraise them, date them, and tell me if the resealing practice was related to remembering deceased children?

I have 2 large matching cloisonné pedestals that I want to get appraised for insurance purposes and potentially include in my trust to the San Diego Museum of Art. How much do you charge for appraisal, and how would that process happen?

How much is an oil painting of pheasants signed by R.Danford? The condition is good, with no marks on the frame, but there is cracking on the paint.
