I have a "Larry Dodson October Splendor" painting. I'm wanting to get a selling price. I have the folder in which the painting was sold, which includes the name of the painting, a faded representation in orange, and his signature. I assume it was painted in 1989. The picture is signed on the front. Is there any info on the back of the painting, or a certificate of authenticity?

I have an old chest and I'm wondering what it could be worth. It has the markings 'THEWWW HC. FABER&SONS'.

I have an antique walnut color drop leaf dining room table with clawed feet. How do I identify its value? The table is at least 75+ years old and in good condition, needing some work. Where can I find a maker's mark or serial number, and how can I send photos for a more accurate appraisal?

I inherited a Watertown slide table that appears to be over 30 years old. It has three leaves and pedestal feet with metal tips, possibly brass. The table is in pretty good condition, though the top is peeling (looks like Formica), the feet are beat up, and the metal tips are dull and loose. There are stamps for the Watertown slide company and numbers #560 and 200 on the table. What is the approximate age and value of this table?

We have an antique doll that I’d like to evaluate. It is in fair condition and likely from the early 1940s. The doll has articulating joints and closing eyes, but there are no markings on the neck or foot. Is there anything else important the Antiques Appraiser should know?

I have a copy of Aesop's Fables, 1947 copyright, published by Gosset & Dunlap, Illustrated Junior Library. Hard cover, no jacket, but cover and book are in excellent shape. I'd like to find out if this book has any value for collectibles. Additionally, I have another book from the same vintage, 1947, titled Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, illustrated by Norman Price for Junior Library, published by Grosset and Dunlap. This one has a plastic cover that came with the book, and the book, binding, and cover are all in excellent shape. What is the value of these books for collectibles?
