I found a picture of Blue Boy by Thomas Gainsborough in my mom's attic and am curious about it. The item is in pretty good condition with no scratches or tears. How can I get an appraisal and what details should I provide?

Can you help me determine the value of these white Royal Crown roosters and the black and white rooster? I'm not sure who makes them or their value.

I have a Kestner doll passed down from my grandmother. She is 21 inches long with broken elbow and knee joints, but the leather covering and interior stuffing are in perfect shape. She has all original clothes in almost perfect condition and came with paperwork mentioning Kestner 154 Shoulderhead and Body 8 (104). Is there a marking on the neck or foot? What is the value of this doll and where can I sell it?

I have a painting that has some damage from the frame. It's an oil on board titled 'The Big Cloud' by Jean Lurcat. I want to know if it's worth investing money into repairing it. Is there any additional information or photos needed to assess its value?

Is this a free site? I have a 1902 tobacco pipe in fair condition with an engraved logo I can’t find in research. What condition is the pipe in, and is there anything else important the Antiques Appraiser should know?
