I have a couple of vases and a painting that I would like to have appraised. The painting is about 50 years old, in good but not perfect condition, and is believed to be a chalk drawing. It has a signature that is difficult to read and was given to me by a client who passed away in 2018. The painting came from an actor's home, and I can obtain a certificate of authenticity. What is the cost of appraisal and how can I make an appointment?

I have a family painting that is likely from the late 1800s or early 1900s. It appears to be fragile and may have been painted with chalk or something similar. I want to know how to preserve it and if there is any way to determine its exact date or decipher the writing on it.

I have an Uncle Tom's Jigger bank by Ferdinand Strauss, which is over 60 years old and has been in the family since new. It has two patent dates, 1910 and 1918. The bank is undamaged with some worn edges in the paint along the base, and its condition is as new mechanically with no damage or mechanical wear. The color is probably not as bright as original. I am interested in selling it and would like to know its approximate value.
