I have a beautiful silk rug that I want appraised. It is not a standard oriental rug, and I don’t know what kind it is. I paid $4500 for it 25 years ago. It is mostly black but has three beautiful florals on one corner in pink, sea foam, and a bit of lilac. The rug is in perfect condition but probably needs cleaning and has never been walked on. Does the rug have a maker's mark or serial number, and where would that be?

I found a small milk van with the name Garst Bros., an old dairy that closed in my city. It is rusted but cute and small, possibly holding 2 gallons. What is its value, and would cleaning it up hurt its value?

We bought an old Ericsson wall phone in very good condition. The mouthpiece was stamped 88609, which we believe places it around 1895. Can someone provide an estimated value?

I have a late 19th-century blue stoneware pitcher from my family's 1835 house in Mechanicsburg, PA. I'm preparing for a yard sale and need to categorize items based on their potential sale value. How should I categorize this pitcher?
