I have an Amercrombie & Fitch cup and saucer from the Andover China Company. The cup is 2 1/8" tall and 2.25" across the top, and the saucer is 5" across. There are two tiny chips on the bottom ridge of the saucer. The label reads: in red 'AMERCROMBIE & FITCH NEW YORK' over green 'ANDOVER CHINA CO.' There is a turkey or rooster design on the front of the cup, and a signature that looks like 'Kay' under the bird. The saucer, cup top edge, and handle have gold around them, and there's a thin gold line around the center of the saucer. What is the age, price, and origin of this set?

I have a late Victorian side by side oak dresser/server and display cabinet made in 1895 in the Kitchener, Ontario area. It features a flat desk, a cabinet on top, another cabinet below, and a rounded glass door with shelves on the right side. The original mirror is directly behind the flat desk and another over the rounded door cabinet. The piece is in good condition. What is the estimated retail value, and how can I sell it close to that value?

I have a wide-lipped jar with a mark/brand I cannot identify. It weighs slightly over 1.5 lbs and is probably earthenware. Can you help identify the maker and provide any information about its value or use?

I have just received a shipment of antique furniture from my home in Michigan and have several questions: (1) One of the dining room chairs has mildew. What's safe to use for cleaning? (2) How can I keep the wood healthy in a dry climate, especially since some pieces are over 200 years old? (3) Where can I find a very good refinisher for repair or refinishing of a couple of pieces?

Can you provide information about the value and history of a 1940s All in One Globemaster 60891 jar and can opener with an orange handle, possibly from Japan?
