I have 1988, 2016 Holiday Barbie dolls, 25th, 35th, 50th & Millennium Barbie dolls, and some Hallmark ornaments, all still in their original boxes and in like-new condition. I am selling them to help pay for college tuition. Is there a marking on the doll's neck or foot that could help with their appraisal? Is there anything else the Antiques Appraiser should know?

I have an extra-large old-fashioned pitcher, bowl, parlor pot, 3-piece soap dish, and small picture, all in fair condition. The lid of the soap dish has been glued back together, and the small picture has a chip on the top. They are Stoke pottery with the RoNo218780 and No503 markings. What is the value of this set?

I submitted photos of three different antique items a couple of days ago but have not received a response yet. Can someone please review and respond back to my questions? The items include a tricycle believed to be from the early 1900s, a carousel horse purchased in 1977 for $1,200 from an antique store in Sacramento, CA, and a hand-painted desk and chair created by a well-known artist in California named John Johanssen who lived in Amador County before passing away a few years ago. All items are in very good to excellent condition.

I have been given a Claude Monet painting and need to determine if it's a copy or original, and its value. The painting is titled 'No 2126 the scene of Bougival Claude Monet (French 1840-1926)' and is in a frame that is taped shut, preventing inspection of the back. What can be determined about its authenticity and value without opening the frame?

I have an antique sterling silver salad serving set from Nevius Brothers, a high-end store where my mother worked in high school. The set was a wedding gift to her in 1957. I found the maker's mark and have information about the store's history. What is the value of this set and how can I best sell it?
