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?

I have a first edition of 'The Last of the Bighams' copyright 1925. It is a hardback, blueish-purple in color with gold letters on the front and spine. Someone mentioned that the family did not like the book and destroyed most copies, with only two copies found in the last 20 years. I would like to know the value of this book.
