I got a cute rusk ladderback chair at a thrift shop and want to learn more about it. The chair is in excellent condition and I think it's 100-150 years old.

I have a large copper rendering kettle stamped Hale & Sons, Bristol 1782. It is about 33 inches in diameter and 18 inches high, with other special markings. What is the value of this antique kettle?

I was offered the opportunity to purchase a set of silverware, believed to be silver-plated, that was acquired by its original owner in the mid- to late 1950s.

I have a book titled 'THE BEATLES ILLUSTRATED LYRICS' edited by Alan Aldridge, dedicated to Rita, Miles, and Saffron. What can you tell me about its value and any other details the Antiques Appraiser should know?

I am trying to find out how much my Wehrle Company parlor stove 'Acme Rustic' is worth. It is rusted with all original parts. The name on it says Acme Rustic, The Wehrle Company, Newark, Ohio, and it is numbered 25. I have pictures but am unsure how to upload them. I also found a similar stove for sale on another website but it is not rusted.
