I need an expert on vintage dolls. I would like to know the age and value of a 20" tall Shirley Temple doll by Ideal Novelty and Toy Company. The doll has all of her clothes and undergarments but has a crack on her back. Can you provide an assessment based on the provided photos?

I have an antique item that I'm unsure about. It's a piece with marble and dark wood, possibly mahogany, about 7 feet tall. It's missing some original parts like pie pans and an umbrella tray. Can you provide an insurance appraisal for this item?

We just bought a bar and it has a vintage or antique reach-in cooler that we don't want to use for our business. It's a large reach-in bottle cooler with four sliding top doors and curved doors. What should I ask for as a selling price?

I am trying to determine if some items are family heirlooms or not. I have a vegetable bowl with the mark 'ROTAR' (corrected to 'Royal'), a crown, 'Firenze', and 'China'. It was originally eggshell in color but has faded to brownish. It has large pink roses on the side inside a raised circular area. I would like to know the approximate age and value of this bowl.

Could you help identify the maker mark on this 4" tall creamer? It appears to be hand painted and most of the gold trim has worn. The interior is quite irregular (bumps/marks).
