I have two porcelain pieces marked WS&S and numbered. One has the ID G402 with a painted 4 in the center circle on the bottom, and the other is numbered 871. They were in my grandmother's family, and she was born in 1890. How do I determine their value and where can I sell them?

I have a painting I'd like to learn about. It measures 18.5" x 22.5" in the frame. What can you tell me about its origin, artist, and value?

I have my grandparents' Stickley Brothers Dining Room Set: China Cabinet, Buffet, Table with three leaves, six chairs, Mission Craftsman Oak. My father refinished it to a tan color in the 50's. I am 71 years old. What would it be worth, considering it is in excellent condition with copper hinges, etc.?

I think I might have an original Winslow Homer painting. I got it at a thrift store for $6.99, and it doesn't exist in his catalog of works. The painting depicts three little boys playing in a cotton field. What could it be worth, and is it one of his earlier works?

We have a 30-inch wide, 5-inch tall ornamental dish from the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. It was acquired by Charles Fessenden Morse, had a single piece broken out of it, and was going to be thrown away, but my second great-grandfather acquired it. My grandfather made a base for it to display on the wall. I can send pictures. Is there anything else important the Antiques Appraiser should know?
