I would like help with the identification and valuation of a 24” oil jar I recently acquired. I think it’s Bauer, but the color is off. The jar is estimated to be from the 1930-1940 period and is in very good condition. The bottom is not signed, but there is a stamp “17” in a box.

What is the value of an antique French tea set with a mark indicating it was made between 1741-1753? The tea set has been passed down through the family and is in perfect condition.

I have a 12" diameter serving tray from the Middletown Plate Co. with stamps on the rear indicating Hard White Metal and the numbers 029 and 12. On the front, there are initials in cursive. I would like to identify the manufacture year and, if possible, the original owners. What else should I know about this design/model?

I have two paintings by Wendell Rogers - one of the south side of the Chatham fish pier with a large boat (24" by 24") and one of Ernest Kendricks' shanty (27x19). The paintings are in very good condition and were painted in approximately 1970. My father and Mr. Rogers were friends. I live in Pennsylvania and would not like to transport them to Cape Cod for appraisal. Should I be insuring these paintings and if so, what price range should I consider?

Could someone please help me identify this box? I need more information such as where it was obtained, how long it has been in possession, and the material of the adornment that makes up the border of the image.

I have a marble sculpture of a lady, approximately 26 inches tall, created in the late 19th century, signed by P. Bazzanti - Firenze. The sculpture is in very good to excellent condition and features a wreath headdress and a lyre or similar instrument in her hands. I would like to get a formal appraisal and then find a museum, university, or school to donate it to. Are there any unique markings or symbols on the sculpture, and what is its potential value?
