We have a small, old cast iron safe with markings noting Ideal Safe Company. It is in excellent condition and has markings 'PATAPLDFOR' cast on the bottom, which I understand to mean 'Patent Applied For.' What is the age and value of this safe, and how can I open it if I don't know the combination?

I have an authentic Japanese kimono brought over from Japan in 1948 by my grandfather. Could you please describe the condition of the kimono? I have pictures but they are not the best quality. Is there anything else the Appraiser should know before I connect you?

I have several art pieces from Vanity Fair, done in the late 1800s, related to judges or attorneys, and hung in my dad's law office in San Francisco for years. They are framed and in good condition. I'd like to know if they are paintings or drawings, if they are just pages taken out of a Vanity Fair magazine, and how much they might be worth individually.
