I have a very large oval pewter meat platter with tree and well, decorative feet and handles, and hollow lining for hot water to keep meat warm. The maker is Shaw & Fisher of Sheffield, which was around 1830 and changed name in 1874. It also says 'By the Queens Royal Letters Patent' and has a Coat of Arms. It measures 20 inches by 15 inches excluding handles. I have been unable to find anything similar to this. What could this be worth?

I have a copy of the book "Israel: A Personal History" by David Ben-Gurion. The front end-paper has a printed presentation to Mr. and Mrs. Samuel L. Haber of the 1972 United Jewish Appeal Study Conference signed by the author. I would like to sell this book. Can you provide me with name(s) of experts in my area who would be qualified to appraise this book and provide me with a certificate of authenticity?
