I have a reproduction in frame from the 1800s to early 1900s that has been in my mother's family for at least three generations. The item is in good condition with the original wooden back intact. I would like to get a price estimate for it. What condition is the item in, and is there anything else important the appraiser should know?

I have a large Odin Lonning print titled Wolfsong, which is pencil signed and limited to an edition of 50 prints. The dimensions with the frame are 19 1/2" X 22". I am familiar with Odin Lonning's jewelry, sculptures, and postcards but have never seen any prints for sale by him. Could you provide information on the value and history of this print?

I have a set of eight 5.5" tall x 2.75" across aperitif cordials that need polishing. They are silver-plated metal made in Meriden, CT, in shape 311 from the 1950s. I don't drink, so I'm not familiar with glasses. What are they worth, and how can I sell them?

I have a knife or dagger given to me by my wife's uncle who was in the Korean War. He took it from a Japanese officer who was killed in the war. The knife has some Japanese inscription on it and is double-edged. What can you tell me about its origin, age, and value?

I have a book titled 'The History of Magic' by Kurt Seligmann. The pages, cover, and spine are in excellent condition. I'm checking to see if it's a first edition and it was published in 1948. Is there anything else important the Antiques Appraiser should know?

I bought a Gazo Family floor clock, the 'San Franciscan' in dark walnut, which is in perfect condition. I'm the second owner and can't find any information or approximate value. The clock is 8 1/2 feet tall and very heavy, so I can't check the back for any maker's marks or serial numbers. It has a Gazo nameplate and works well. Is there any way to determine its value without moving it?
