I purchased a sideboard built by Superior Cabinet Company, Superior Furniture Co. It has Spanish curled trestle legs with pot iron and metal on the bottom, and some fine details painted in black, white, and orangey red. There are only a few flathead screws and the rest are nails. The back has several hands-worn numbers, and there is a label in the drawer from the manufacturer. Can you help determine when this sideboard would have been built and its potential value?

I have 3 glass or ceramic pieces, 1 crystal clock, and 1 small book written in German with a very unusual cover. The clock face says Staiger and West Germany. What can you tell me about these items, their age, and their value?

I have a painting that I have been unable to identify the artist or determine its value. The painting is done on a stretched fabric, with another painting underneath (reused canvas), depicting a Southwestern Indian maiden with dark colors and a beautiful facial expression. The signature appears to be W M Beausoliel or WM Beausoled, dated 97. The painting is in fair condition, needing restoration due to paint flaking, likely because it was painted over another piece. It is on a wood frame with nails attaching the fabric, which appear to be pre-machined. What can you tell me about the artist, the painting's value, and any additional steps I should take?

I have a very old Nanny/Mammy Rocker from the mid-1800s in excellent condition with detailed but faded paint, the original gate that can switch to either side of the bench, and trimmed in faded gold. Where do I start to get it appraised and where would I best market the sale of this piece?
