I have 5 Saturday Evening Post Magazines dated 1911 and 1912. The cover illustrators are Sarah S. Stilwell Weber, Anton Otto Fischer, Philip Boica, Clarence F. Underwood, and Harrison Fisher. In each case, the entire magazine is framed. I'm looking for any information. Can you help?

My mother has a set of Tom Nicholas lithographs that includes the Certificate of Authenticity. The titles are Monteray Beach California, New England Lighthouse, Winter Beach, and Along The Gulf Coast. Dated in December 1977. Pictures are in good shape, but frames are a little nicked. How much would these be worth?

I have a very ornate, quite large antique pump organ. It has a mirror on the top piece, gas lamp holders on either side, a hymn book stand that lifts up to reveal music storage space, and an accompanying 3-legged stool. It has been refinished and still plays, although it has the original bellows. It has been in my family for over 50 years and is Victorian and extremely ornate. I also have a dining room table, circular, 72" across with a pedestal stand, plus a matching Hutch with a mirror. Both are refinished in oak and over 100 years old. They were built by hand by my great grandfather for my grandmother and are in the Arts and Crafts design. I bought 4 chairs for it that are exact matches to the wood and style. What should I expect to be able to sell the pump organ for, and what is the value of the dining room set for insurance purposes?
