I am interested in an appraisal of a Noritake dinner set. The Bankstamp has an M surrounded by a wreath and "Japan" written underneath the wreath. There is a floral pattern. I am interested in the pattern name and value. There is gold-edged trim on the dinnerware, and I received it from my Great Aunt about twenty years ago. I also need to determine the number of pieces in the set.

I have a cookbook with a copyright date of 1806 and would like to find out its value. The book is titled 'The Cook Book' by 'Oscar' of the Waldorf, and it has a handwritten date by Oscar Tschirky on December 9, 1900. The publisher's name on the spine is The Werner Company. What is the actual publication date, who was the publisher, and what is the current value of the book?

I have a graduated silver bead necklace and a tiger eye pendant with matching earrings from my mother's collection of costume jewelry. The necklace is 95 grams of silver and has markings .925 and Mexico, but I can't identify the silversmith's code. The pendant and earrings are also in sterling silver but I haven't been able to research their markings. Can you help identify these pieces and provide an estimated value?

I have a New England family piece, possibly a sideboard or chest, with leaf carving and a date of 1881. Where can I find the value, and can I send a picture for appraisal?
