I have a necklace with blue beads that appear to be glass, round beads that seem to be antique silver, and cylindrical enamel beads. The necklace looks Tibetan and is approximately 34.5 inches long. I need information on the era, the materials of the beads, and the resale value. Additionally, should I remove the tarnish from the metal beads, and what material are the metal beads made of?

I have a very old book titled 'The Song of Hiawatha' published by The Henneberry Publishing Company. The cover shows its age, but the pages are in excellent condition. I also have an excellent copy of 'Lady of the Lake' by Sir Walter Scott, published by W.B. Conley Company in 1830. What is the value of these books, and how can I sell them?
