I have a sterling silver rimmed compote/sauce server with a grape motif etched into the outside of the bowl. The rim is marked with 'STERLING eagle 3605'. It is 3 inches high, 4 7/8 inches across the opening, and has a 3-inch base. It is in very good condition with one tiny ding in the silver. What is the origin and value of this piece?

I have owned a Martin D-28 guitar since the late 1960s. It is in excellent condition with only a slightly scratched area not protected by the pick guard. I would like to insure the instrument and would appreciate your opinion regarding the insurance value I should place on it.

I have a match holder or toothpick holder that measures 2 1/4 inches high. It has a bell mark with the letters O.F. inside, a partially rubbed off word in a banner, and below that, ST. LOUIS, U.S.A. There is also a clover mark on it. Can you identify the maker and provide an appraisal of its value?

I have an old pocket watch that I'm trying to get information on. The few people I spoke to state that it seems to be French around 1780-1800. The marking on the front face states 'Catoia A Carrouges'. I can provide pictures of the works and markings. What can you tell me about this watch and its value?
