I have a French sterling silver wine tester with a coat of arms in the center of the cup. The top has four castle towers, and under the word AVIGNCN, there is a shield with three old skeleton keys. There are no markings on the back, just the crest in the cup. Should I clean it with silver polish?

I have a leather-bound book of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and a Presidential Cookbook owned by my grandmother. I would like to know the value of these items and if it's worth having the cookbook rebound for preservation, other than as a family heirloom.

Hi, attached is a miniature of a lady. Could you tell me where she might have come from? I have her husband too. She is in a diver case with lovely blue enamel. She measures about 2.5 inches high.

I have a painting by Thelma Butler, a marine scape from 1971, 24 x 30 inches, and framed. I am looking for its value on the secondary market. The condition is fair to good with some loss to paint. Is this painting by the same Thelma Butler as Thelma Leaney Butler, who is known for her work in England and San Diego? If not, what is the estimated value of my painting?
