I have a Simon Willard clock called "The Time Piece" believed to be from 1802-1820. The design was patented in 1820. The clock is not in working order and is made of mahogany with glass that has gold gilt. Two screws were used to repair it, but the original nails are with it. There is a typed note indicating it has been in the Thorne family for about 80 years. What is the current market value of this clock?

I have found a Wuersch Ship's clock but can't find any information about it. The clock indicates that the company is/was Fall River MA. The clock is paired with a High Tide/Low Tide indicator as a separate unit. Can you tell me anything about it and its value?

Who can I contact regarding the value of a very old hand-loomed bed cover (bed throw, bedspread) from the county courthouse of Corydon, Indiana, 1849? I live in Minnesota, closer to Duluth, and would like an estimated value as well as a list of textile appraisers in my area.

I am interested in buying a 7-foot tall grandfather clock from a friend. The clock is very plain and mundane looking, and I am unsure of its value. The clock does not work, and I suspect it needs cleaning. What should I pay for it?

I am trying to sell a set of African thorn carvings from Nigeria, circa 1965. There are 16 pieces, most in very good condition, with one missing hands. The carvings depict scenes of village life and were purchased by my grandparents between 1960 and 1965 when they were working in Nigeria. What is the market value of these carvings, and where can I sell them effectively?
