I have a china cabinet from the early 1900s with no manufacturer's mark. The condition is fair to good, possibly refinished or with original finish cracking. I have all parts except the cabinet door knob. Should I refurbish it or leave it as is, and what is its value?

What can you tell me about this piece of furniture I purchased from an antique dealer in Vermont? It is 38.25” wide front, 60” tall at front, 2-Side width 15.5”, highest point (back) height 66”, 12” depth. There are multiple types of nails used, all seemingly hand forged, and the hinges look hand forged as well. There is bark remaining on some pieces and the pitch from the pine used remains. It is painted in well-worn mustard paint. What do you estimate its age to be and is there a name to the style?

I would like to know if my Mort Alexander doll is worth anything. The doll has an '89' on the back of her head, 'Mort Alexander Ltd' and 'Made in Hong Kong' on her back, and 'Hong Kong' on her waist. It was given to me by my great grandmother and is in fairly good condition.

I have 3 glass items I’d like some information on: a Murano paperweight with millefiori design resembling an owl, a glass bowl on a marble base with gold-colored ceramic people, and an unmarked enamel/porcelain vase. Could you provide information on their dates, value, and how to identify authentic Murano pieces for potential sale?
