I have a portrait of a woman signed on the back with a large monogram 'PC' overlapping inside a diamond, which is boldly two-toned in red and black. The image depicts a nude woman standing on a dock with an ocean background, wearing a large sun hat and towel, with predominant blues. Based on the style, colors, and construction, the estimated age is between 1905 and 1920. The style suggests a European origin, likely French. I have consulted with the world's foremost expert on Paul Cezanne, who confirmed it is not one of his works. I am offering a 5% commission upon identification and subsequent sale at a major art auction company. How can I proceed with identifying and potentially selling this piece?

I have an original pencil sketch of Manhattan by Robert Drinon that was given to me by him and was wondering what it is worth? It is very detailed and was matted and framed by him. I dated his son.

What is the approximate value of a very old Pewter 8 1/4 inch round plate found in my 93-year-old mother's belongings, stamped with 'Graham Wardrop' and a 7/8x7/8 inch square stamp featuring a sailing ship in the center with the motto 'Success to The United States'? The plate is heavily worn on the front side and was previously valued at around $300.

We have the pulpit set from the First Methodist Church where President McKinley attended and where his funeral services took place. The funeral was in 1901, making this furniture at least 113 years old and still in excellent condition. Could they be worth anything or just old furniture?
