I am selling a Chelsea ships bell 12 inch clock, serial # 34422. Originally purchased by G. E. Butler in San Francisco in 1908. We inherited this clock in Sept. 2005. Is it possible to determine the value at that time for tax purposes?

I have a late 1800's 2-piece china hutch with green glass doors and wrought iron in the middle, 2 cupboards on each side, and 4 drawers at the bottom. The hutch is extremely heavy and a couple of pulls need repair. I have all the skeleton keys for it and believe it was appraised for $1600 about 8 years ago. I am storing my Hall Autumn Leaf china collection and vintage mixing bowls in it. I need to sell it due to its size. What price should I ask for it?

I purchased a Barbie doll at a garage sale for $1. She has long brown hair in a ponytail, slightly curly bangs, reddish curved eyebrows, blue eyes with black pupils and a white dot, thick black eyeliner with light blue liner above, removable pearl earrings, a 3-row wrapped pearl necklace, and is marked Mattel 1958 on the back of the head. The torso is marked Barbie (copyright symbol C) and 1958-1993 Mattel Inc. Malaysia. There are no holes in the feet, and her nails are painted red. She is wearing a gown with a white/silvery bodice, pink skirt with pink tulle and white polka dots, and the dress is held together by velcro. Is this doll vintage, partially vintage, or a reproduction?
