I have an 80-piece Alfred Meakin dinner set, setting for 12, with various plates, bowls, and serving pieces, in good condition with no chips or cracks. The design is believed to be MEA105, also known as Royal Marigold. I would like to confirm the design name and approximate value of the set.

I am interested in the history and value of a hair receiver marked HandPainted Japan with a small floral logo. The piece is porcelain, flattened oval with a lid, about 4-3/4” wide and 2-1/2” high including the lid, and the paint is mostly blue and gold. I have no information about its age or provenance. Can you provide any insights?

I have a Jean Ostrow painting that I would like to know the value of. Can you assist me? The painting is an oil on canvas depicting a coastal scene with stormy clouds, signed 'J. L. Ostrow' at the bottom left. It measures 24" x 48" for the art and 25 ¼" x 49 ¼" for the frame. It is in good condition and is believed to be around 20 years old. The painting was part of an inheritance from my father's art collection, and we may have the purchase receipt.

I have a $20 bill from the 2009 series with the serial number 88684887. It's in fairly good condition with a few wrinkles. Can you tell me if it has any value beyond its face value?
