I have several items from my dad's estate that I would like to know if they are worth anything, including Playboy magazines from the 60s and 70s in great condition, a couple of pieces of art, a really old Bible, and more. What is the value of these items and should I consider selling them in a garage sale or elsewhere?

I have a print titled 'Jnibaca Discovering herself to Trenmor' by Swiss painter Angelica Kauffmann, first printed by Thomas Burke in 1775. I have attached photos of the print and its back, which shows a faint artist's palette with a structure and a screen-like imprint. The lower left corner has the number 7 and initials LHD. Could this be an artist proof, and does the screen imprint and the 1773 publishing date affect its value?

We want to get a ballpark estimate on a piece of furniture before taking it to a local dealer. The furniture was purchased by parents at least 40 years ago from an antique store, is in good condition with a couple of chips, and could be refinished. There are markings but not sure if they are original. We are unsure of the age and do not see any manufacturer's information. What is the fair market value of this Regency style table from the early 20th century, possibly made of walnut?

I would like to find an independent appraisal for a rare Shelley tea set from the 1930s, located in Canberra, Australia. The set is pink with varying black and white images of dancers, in excellent condition, and includes a sugar bowl, jug, cups, saucers, side plates, and a larger cake/pastry plate. Can you provide an appraisal based on the provided photos?

We just received a bronze bust of Cicero and think it may be worth something, but we are not certain. The bust has an inscription, a maker's mark, and a year (1839). It looks in good condition and needs cleaning. What is the value of this bust and what should we know about it?
