I have two Hardy Boys Books, 'The Secret Warning' (1938) and 'The Ghost at Skeleton Rock' (1957), and I want to know their value. The books are in excellent condition with no bent or torn pages, but the spine on 'The Ghost at Skeleton Rock' is slightly damaged. There are no dust jackets, and they were published by Grosset & Dunlap in the U.S.

I have a carpenter ornament bought in Sorrento about 30 years ago, marked with an 'N' and a crown above. I also have an authenticity label with it. Do you think it's real?

I bought a painting at a storage unit sale. The unit belonged to a wealthy real estate developer who was attempting a development on the Nevada / California border. Upon the discovery of an endangered species, the development fell through and a year later the developer died. The painting is of sailing ships anchored in a harbor. The painting is signed John Clymer. It is approximately 24" X 30" and seems to be in pristine condition. Do you have any guess as to its value?
