I have a set of 6 monogrammed spoons that belonged to my great-grandmother, who married in 1910. The back of the spoons says 'O B RuddS. Sterling' and has three symbols: a 4-legged animal with a tail and ears, a ship's anchor, and a letter that might be a 'K'. Can you tell me about them and where they were made?

I have an antique walnut buffet that is 5 feet wide, 3 feet tall, and 22 inches deep, with '308' lightly carved on the back. It was my great-grandmother's and is probably from the 1800s. The item has some scratches and scuffs on the top, slight wear on the legs, and one cabinet is off its hinge, otherwise it is in good condition. What should I look for to determine its value and condition?

I have a couple of items that I don’t know the value of. What’s the best way to get a value of my items? The item is estimated to be from the 19th century and is in good condition, though not perfect. How long after sending photos would I get an answer to my question?
