I bought a samovar at a Salvation Army store for $85. It has Cyrillic markings inside, appears to be copper or brass, and is small to medium in size with a small dent. I would like to know its origins, appraised value, and if it has any cultural significance for European immigrants in the US. How can I find out more about its origins and get an appraisal?

I have an old safe about 30 inches tall, 500 pounds, with 'nearpass' written on the front, a dial, and a handle to open, on four wheels with some rust. I want to sell it and don't know how to find out its value. Can you help?

I have a Roselane Pottery Pasadena Pink Salad Bowl with Incised Modernist Fish Design from the 1960s, including a big bowl, fork, spoon, salt shaker, and oil/vinegar vases with original cork tops. There is a small chip in one of the smaller plates, but otherwise, the condition is excellent. I am trying to sell these items and need to know their value. Should I sell them as a set or individually?

I'm new to antiques and trying to determine if I have found a piece of antique furniture without spending a lot of money. The furniture has a maker's mark and a serial number, but I don't know its age or condition. I have pictures of the item. What should I do to get an appraisal?

I have a Native American print or painting of an Indian and it's signed in what looks like pen ink with the signature saying LAM. Can you provide more information about this piece?
