I have a tea/breakfast set comprising of a large plate with indent provided for tea pot, milk jug, cup, sugar bowl and toast rack. Each piece has JAMES KENT LTD; LONGTON; MADE IN ENGLAND; Golden Wattle 4014. Each piece is in good condition. I am 71 years old and this set belonged to my aunt. I was about to donate it to a fundraising group when I thought I might be able to get some advice on its value. Can you advise from the description I have given?

I have a Simon & Halbig doll #370, 21" tall, with a bisque head, jointed leather body, and glass eyes, from around 1920. The doll is in very good condition except for matted hair, has the original underclothes but no dress, and is marked GERMANY and #370 on the back of the neck. What is the value of this doll and where can I find a dress or pattern for it?

My builder has been refurbishing an apartment by channelling out walls for re-wiring. The lady in the adjacent apartment claims a decorative Limoges plate from around 1850 fell off her wall and broke into pieces. The builder denies causing the damage as he was not working on her wall. I have taken photos of the broken plate and received a quote of £200 to mend it. I cannot find a replacement for the plate, which is a Limoges decorative plate pompodour shoe in mustard color. The lady also has a matching plate in blue. The builder suspects she might be exaggerating the situation. What is the actual value of the plate, and what should I do next?

I have an oil painting called 'A Day at Santa Anna' by George Merle Gilson, painted in 1965. It's in excellent condition, well framed, and brightly colored. I would like an appraisal on this item.
