I have a pair of weighted sterling silver 10" candlesticks with spiral columns. They are very different than any candlesticks I have seen. They are stamped sterling - weighted with a hand drawn H under it. I don't know how the H got there. Can you help identify the maker and estimate their value?

I have a few very old documents in German, one dated 1564 and another dated 1632. I believe they are separate documents but would like some clarity. Additionally, I have a landscape scene autographed by Hedwig Trumm-Witzel, who was alive from 1881-1957. What are the approximate values and characteristics of these documents and the autographed print?

I have two vintage prints by J. Gould and H.C. Richter, titled 'The Cometes Phaon' and 'Helianthea Eos,' which I inherited. I would like to know if they have any value before storing them. Can you provide an appraisal?

I donated a set of 285 pieces of ink rubbings on mulberry paper that were purchased by my grandfather in 1911 in Xian to Wofford College last year (2016), and I would like to have them appraised for tax purposes if it is not too expensive. They have been photographed and catalogued and can be viewed online. Could you give me a rough idea on how much an appraisal would cost?

I recently purchased a large wash pitcher (no bowl) that has B & G Burslem England stamped on the underside of the base. It is brown ware and has a pinched rim on the pitcher with painted detail inside. The only identifying information on the sales tag was 1870s England. What did I buy, and what is its history?
