I have an 1860 Peking incenser brought over by my grandfather from the Boxer Rebellion. It was from the Yuanmingyuan summer residence built by the Manchu emperors in the 18th century. The palace was rebuilt by Empress Dowager Cixi in the 1870s and renamed Yiheyuan. During the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, the palace was destroyed by Western troops and remained dilapidated until the Chinese Communists rebuilt it in the 1950s. My grandfather brought the incenser over during the Boxer Rebellion. I am interested in obtaining a value on the item. What should I do?

My sister owns an old Chinese ink block panel with 3 pictures on it, done in 4 colors. She was told it was very old and valuable, but wants an actual appraisal for insurance purposes. I took some pictures but am unsure of their quality or usefulness.

I have a Singer Sewing Machine made on 12/02/1955, in good condition, and it is in a brown wood cabinet with three drawers on the right side. The machine can be placed down in the cabinet when not in use and appears like an enclosed dresser/cabinet. There is a medal on and off pedal, and the machine is electrical. How much is it worth?
