I have an antique violin that my grandmother gave me when I was 12. The stamp inside says 'E.R. _Frebschner' with a cursive letter I can't identify, followed by 'Germany, 1950, handmade copy of Antonius Stradivarius'. The case has some damage, and I'm unsure if the bow is original. The violin needs a string replacement, and there are practice tape guide lines on it that can be removed without damaging the instrument. Can you provide any information or an appraisal on this violin?

Can you give me an idea of what this cast iron stove might be worth? The stove is from the Southern Cooperative and is very old, but I don't know much else about it.

I have 8 Gold Castle snack tray and cups. I want to know some history on Gold Castle. The tray has unique markings: 'GOLDCASTLE' above a pagoda style building, 'Handpainted, CHINUS (?)' underneath, and features a handpainted white bird, grass fronds with gold dots. The set is at least 60 years old and in excellent condition. I received them from my godmother in 1973, but I do not know how long she had had them. I am interested in learning the history of Gold Castle and this particular snack set as I will be giving them as a wedding gift to my granddaughter.
