I inherited a dining room set from my mother, who purchased it around 1974 when it was already 75 years old. The set includes a china cabinet, a buffet/sideboard, and a dining table. The china cabinet has numbers 24, 3605, 100, BB on the back, and the buffet has a Peck & Hills label and a Batesville Cabinet Company Hillenbrand Industries Master-Made Furniture stamp. The pieces are hand-carved with floral scroll work. I would like to know the age, type/period, and value of the pieces for insurance purposes.

I have several C. M. Russell complete series decanters and several other Hoffman originals, all in original boxes and sealed. Most have early 70s bourbon. Where should I start to sell them and what is their estimated value?

I have an old doll in fair to poor condition. It has 'AM. DOLL CO.' on the back of the neck, is dressed as a girl, has loose threads on the right arm but the arm is still attached, and a chip about the size of a nickel is missing at the hairline above the left eye. The remainder of the body appears to be original. Can you give me an idea of her worth?

I recently acquired an old, leather container that appears to be a primitive water or liquid carrier. I would like to know its age, its original purpose, who made it, and its current value. The container is about eleven inches tall.
