I have some very old antiques, either French or English, including a Bombe slant top secretary with wooden dowels and beautiful leather desk, and a tall chest of drawers.

I have a set of books, in 2 volumes, both marked 1st Edition, titled 'In Darkest Africa,' 1890. Both editions have the original maps tucked in the back pocket of each book. There is some fading on the spine and a small tear in one piece of tissue covering the title page. Volume I contains one map and Volume II contains two maps. The books seem to be in excellent condition for being 120+ years old. Only Volume I has a postage stamp on the inside of the back cover. What is the value of these books and are there any additional details I should know about them?

I have a Mira music box, 15 1/2 inch tune sheets/discs zither attachment, double comb, purchased by my grandfather in 1910 for $100.00. The case is oak, and it includes a quartered oak cabinet/stand, 48 tune sheets/discs, and two original catalogues. The item has been kept in very good condition. What is its current value and where can I sell it?

I have a piece that has been in my husband's family for many years, supposedly belonging to a great aunt who came from Germany in the 1870s-80s. I was hoping to get any information on this piece. What can you tell me about it?
