I have two oil paintings bought in Germany in the 50's, one signed Pfitzer and the other signed A Scheloumott. The Pfitzer painting is a lone windswept tree in front of a rough ocean, and the Scheloumott painting is a winter scene with 3 men shooting wolves from a 3 horse troika sleigh. Both paintings were restored by a professional restorer. What is the value of these paintings?

We have a tapestry that appears to be European and old. It is 18" high by 56" wide, appears to be silk or cotton, with uneven threads. It looks like a street scene, with a dancing girl, fruit carts, and a man playing an instrument. Multiple colors, but all dingy brown/gold. We know it came from a Great Grandfather's home, who would have been born around 1890. How do we find a local person to evaluate this in Michigan?

How would I find out if this book is valuable?

I have a piece of art on cloth, roughly 20x30, and I know nothing about it other than it appears to be paint on cloth. What can you tell me about it?

Can you provide information about these two tsuba (sword guards)? One is signed on both sides of the blade slot but barely readable, and the other is not signed. I need to know the period they are from and their value.
