I have a Michigan chair company carved face on back. How can I send a pic? What would you like to learn about the chair? Origin and value. Do you know how old the chair is? What condition is it in? Not certain. I think around 1890’s. Fair condition. Is there anything else the Appraiser should know before I connect you?

I have a small YIXING ZISHA teapot made of clay, very square with writing in Chinese on the side. I don't know its age but it's in pristine condition. How can I find out what it is worth?

I own a Walt Disney Alice in Wonderland Fantasyland silkscreen poster from the 1950s to 1960s. It is in excellent condition with a few white specs of missing paint around the bottom edge and one on Alice's forehead. The poster is currently framed and measures 36x54. What is the value of this poster and should I remove it from the frame for a more accurate appraisal?

I have two vintage lamps: a 1960s Johnson Industries hanging Greek Goddess mineral oil rain lamp with the maker's mark Johnson Industries #233356, and a 1950s/1960s Mid Century American Kitsch Goddess oil rain lamp with a peeled-off tag. Both are in very good condition. What is their value and should I consider selling them?

Please date, explain, and value this pin. We’re in Queensland, Australia, but my grandfather was English from the Norman family of Hammersmith. The story is that this pin was once a ring, with the stone purported to be a diamond. It was made apparently by a crown jeweler at the same time as a man named Shepherd, a relative, was Poet Laureate to the Crown. It’s become fragile and needs repair at the spot where the stone is. It’s roughly 3 inches long and stamped 10Ct.
