I have an old Spanish-looking small vase with a signature 'may g, 54/' on the bottom. The vase has flowers drawn into the pottery and was painted. It belonged to my aunt who bought it when she was 18 and would be 100 years old now if she were alive. I'm not sure what the signature reads, and I need to see it to provide more information.

I have a Japanese jug with a lid. It's big, blue, and white, with a dragon design and stamped in Japanese writing on the bottom. What can you tell me about it and where can I sell it?

I have a Shakespeare commemorative medal by Barre from 1818, made of bronze. The observe side features a bust of Shakespeare with the inscription GULIELMUS SHAKESPEARE. The reverse side has the inscription NATUS STRATFORDIAE IN BRITANNIA AN.M.D.LXIV. OBIT AN.M.DC.XVI: series numismatica virorum illustrium M.D XVIII. I also have a chain made up of 5 of these medallions, with the central one having an additional ring with the inscriptions HAMLET MACBETH ROMEO JULIET. I want to know the origin and possible value of these items.

I have an antique watch that is approximately 70 to 80 years old. It is a gold watch, possibly a Rolex Tudor Royal, given to my grandfather who was a back gunner on a Halifax bomber. The watch was given to him because he made 20 flights without being shot down. The watch is in good condition with the original strap, hardly used. What is the value and any other important details the Antiques Appraiser should know?

I have a guy trying to sell a Chase Organ No. 12620. It is not in working order, but the case looks good. I am considering buying it more as a piece of furniture for my Western style patio, and working condition is not important to me. What should I offer him for it?
