My husband has a picture by Henry G. Walker that he remembers hanging in his parents' home all his life. It is pencil signed on the front and written on the back is 'Off Brixham Original drypoint by Henry G. Walker. Member of the British Empire Academy and the Faculty of Arts. Strictly Limited Edition of artists signed proof in colour.' Can you help me understand its value and significance?

I have a mirror picturing an advert for the Thomas edition phonograph with a lady with long blonde hair and a breast showing. I can't find the image online anywhere. I've had it for at least 10 years. Could it be worth anything? It's about 2 feet wide by 3 feet tall.

I have a picture showing several Kentucky Derby winners such as Man o' War, Battleship, War Admiral, Blockade, and American Flag. The signature on the picture, which appears to be drawn in pencil, is A.W. Anderson. I would like to know if there is any information related to the picture or the artist.

I have a sideboard made by James Lamb in Manchester, likely around 1850 to 1860, and stamped with an upside-down 2 followed by the number 5716. It is heavily inlaid with many different woods and features a Japanese-style chrysanthemum. Can you provide an estimate of its insurance value?

I have a pen and ink drawing on rice paper of a man and woman standing beside a gondola. They appear to be wearing mid-twentieth century dresses, and the whole scene is described as 'fanciful'. At the bottom is a black cat, which I believe represents the artist's signature. Someone once told me it could be by a woman named Brody who killed herself. I would appreciate any information.

I have a collection of antique items from my father, including an Okinawan vase, Imari bowls, Sometsuke items, Japanese wooden folk dolls, a black glaze tsubo vase, an aqua Korean-style crackle glaze vase, an artist-signed Arita Imari plate, an Arita imitating Ming coupe plate, a hand-thrown stoneware trivet, and a Song-style mallet form vase with fish handles. I need help identifying and pricing these items for a sale. Additionally, I want to know if there is a fund established for a town devastated by tornadoes and if it's possible to get your address for further communication.
