I purchased a mahogany slant front desk said to be from Massachusetts, reportedly owned by a Naval captain. I have a question about the drawer pulls, which feature a crown on an anchor.

I found a coin in an old tackle box and am unsure what it is or when it's from. I'm trying to find any information on it and its value. What can you tell me about this coin?

I have a pair of vintage Chinese Blue and White Porcelain Hexagonal lidded Ginger Jars that were purchased as antiques from India, China, Japan, and Thailand in late 1955. One of the jars has damage on the top rim and lid. I have the old sea crate inventory invoice but no photos of the bottoms. What is the estimated value of these jars, and can you confirm their age if I provide photos of the bottom?

I have a painting that I was told is one of the first pictures painted on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, LA. I am interested in selling it because I am getting old and want it to go to someone who likes art. The painting is in the original frame and may be signed. It is in perfect condition and I believe it is at least 70 years old or older. Are there any unique markings or symbols on the piece, and what is its value?
