I have many old photographs of very famous celebrities (some signed) that my mother received by writing them a fan letter when she was a child. They range from 3 x 5 to 8 x 10. People like Katherine Hepburn, Ronald Reagan, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford. She even wrote Bing Crosby during the war and he sent a typed letter apologizing for not sending a picture due to rationing during war time and taped her dime to the letter. Are they worth anything?

I'm looking for an appraisal of an antique rock crystal, amethyst, and smokey quartz chandelier. The chandelier is approximately 46" from top to bottom and 28" wide, with 15 arms/lights. It includes an assortment of rock crystal, amethyst, smokey quartz, and glass. The tag indicated it was from the late 19th century, but I believe it might be from the 1920s. Can you provide an appraisal without a maker's mark?
