What can you tell me about this late 19th century Swiss-made walnut mechanical music box? The music is unrecognizable. What is the age, maker, wood, and value? Has been in family possession at least 100 years.

I have an old carpet, a set of 4 chairs, and a mirror. I would like to know their approximate age and value. How can I get an appraisal for these items?

I just found a copy of “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” and I’m wondering if it’s valuable. I do not know how old it is, there is no printed date. It says “The Grolier Society Inc., New York” and “from the original edition published by Frederick Warne & Co.” It is bound with a linen-like cover and is in a bit rough condition, but intact with all illustrations and type undamaged.

I have a 12-place setting of Noritake China purchased in the 60's in Japan. The pattern appears to be Bessie #5788 stamped Noritake China with the N crest. The condition is excellent, like new, except for one small chip in a complimentary piece. What is the value of this set?

I’m trying to learn the history and value of an old needlepoint art piece. It’s approximately 4’x5’, possibly made in the mid-1800s. The frame and edges are well-aged, but the main body is in good condition. Are there any unique markings or symbols on the piece, and what is its estimated age and value?
