I have a gold man's pocket watch with a beautifully engraved cover, missing crystal but with both hands intact. It belonged to my grandfather who was a railroad man. The watch is an Elgin, and I grew up where we lived. I found the serial number but no K rating, so I think it's probably gold-filled. Can you provide any information about its value and history?

How valuable are six dinner plates from Alfred Meakin, England, bearing a crown and the words BLEU DE ROI above it and ATHOL below? We believe them to be about a hundred years old.

I have a tea set for six (Superior China Baveria) with 22 carat gold trim. It has been in my family for years and perhaps never used. I have no idea how old it is or how I would get it appraised. Is there anything else the Antiques Appraiser should be aware of?

I have some paintings that belonged to my late uncle and I want to sell them. I don't know much about them. How can I get a fair price and what information do I need to provide to an appraiser?
