I'm considering buying a refinished Macey 4 stack bookcase in quartered golden oak with original hardware, missing labels inside the stacks but with maker's marks on the undersides. What is the fair market value for such a piece in Reading, PA, and how does it compare to a Globe-Wernicke 4 stack bookcase in terms of desirability and price?

I have an oil painting signed by Ferrante. The painting is about 40 inches by 50 inches and features a white bridge over water with many flowers in the foreground and skinny bare trees in the background. It has some knife painting. Is this Frank Ferrante, and does this painting have any value?

I have an old doll that has been handed down 3 generations. She is a composition mama crier doll with flirty eyes, molded hair, and her original clothes. The doll has a fabric body with no rips or tears, but her crier box doesn't work anymore. I'm thinking she dates from the 1920s to 1930s. Just wondering how much she's worth?

I have a teapot set with a coffeepot, teapot, creamer, urn with lid, and bowl with no lid. The marks are EPNS with a block over the E, a 3-leafed palm in the middle, a block with a crown over it, and a block over the S. Under all this is '196'. What does '196' mean and who made these items? They all have an octagonal shape with shorter corners and longer sides, are very heavy, and have a small copper rim at the top where the lid fits. The bottom is enclosed with no feet.
