Can anyone help me date an old silver cross, I dug it up in Florida back in the 60's, its only about 2,1/2 inches long. But is very gothic looking. It actually looks like a sword, and Jesus is detachable, if the gold nails are removed. I found this out when I lost the nail in his feet. Has since been replaced. The makers mark does not match any of the listed Italian maker marks. On the back of the cross at the bottom, it says ITALY, has a barrall shaped stamp with what looks like 84M, on the inside but it could be, B{lighting bolt} M. I just can't tell, but I have found nothing that matches it completly. Under the barrall, is 92 and then... a lower off set 5, that numerically looks like it came from another set of stamping numbers, because the style just does not look the same as the 92 set. Any help would be greatly appreciated, my e-mail address is SGrffn45@aol.com
Hi, I inherited a complete service for 12 of Limoges France china made and painted at Elite Works. The set has everything down to the bullion cups, 4 platters, gravy boat and numerous covered and uncovered serving dishes. I'm trying to find any information I can about the history (and date) of the set. It's stamped on the back in green "Limoges France" "Elite" and has a small crest with a man with a halo and the initials "s" and "m". This design is duplicated below in red. The pattern is a white china with gold band and a black greek key overlay. Moving toward the center of the dish, but touching the rim, is a chain of half-circles with dots and finished with an artistic loop. Any help you can give, including pattern name or approx. date made, would be much appreciated. Please e-mail me at smcalearney@techtarget.com

Hi. I have a very old ring that looks to be copper maybe. Anyway, it is stamped inside "made in Italy," and has the virgin Mary on the front of the ring with roses on the sides of the ring. But the REALLY unique thing about the ring is that on the inside (exactly opposite where Virgin Mary is on the outside) it has the Virgin Mary holding Baby Jesus. I have owned this ring for quite some time now...and this is the first time i've noticed Virgin Mary and the Baby Jesus on the inside! It is really unique. As I said before, it looks to be made of maybe copper and looks to be quite old. I was just wondering if anyone could possibly give me any information about this particular type of ring. Or maybe someone has one like it. Thanks Donna nupeedog3@copper.net

I have a question: I have just purchased a Koken barbershop chair dated 1926 in Tianjin, China. Does anyone know if Koken manufactured here at all? The 1920's and 30's were a time when foreign countries had territories within Tianjin and so a China-manufactured chair would not be out of the question but is extremely rare... Please let me know if anyone has any information on this subject. Thank you, Kevin van der Laan Tianjin, People's Republic of China kvanlaan@yahoo.com
I have a set of 2 items and I don't know anything about them. They might be candle holders? They have a thick, blue, tapered glass with scalloped edges. The glass is not clear, but kinda frosted. They sit in holders that are black metal. They are basically 3 strips of metal that are vertical and are attached together with 2 circles of metal. The strips are curled on the ends to form the legs and curl under at the top. They have metal flowers and leaves for decoration. What makes me question if they are candle holders is that where each metal strip curls under at the top is a small hole near the ends of the curl. I have a Pairpoint item. It has a long stem, metal base that shaped like a diamond at the bottom. It has a orange, glass thing on the top that has a bit of an indentation in the middle. (hold a candle??) (maybe candy dish??) The glass top is scalloped on the edges and if it were flat it would be round. However, it comes up in 3 areas and is flat in the other 3 areas. There is flower and leaf detailing on the bottom of the glass and it is smooth on the inside. Under the bottom of the base is the word Pairpoint. Under that word is a "P" in the middle of a diamond and under that is the number 01412. My email is sicnarf@gbronline.com and I could provide a picture if needed. THANKS!!

I have several Couroc trays I bought at the factory in California in 1978. I used one last night to take cornbread to neighbor's Super Bowl party. The tray came back today - clean as it had gone through the dishwasher. How can I regain some of the shine and coating on this tray? I am also looking for information on S. Karpen and Brothers. I have a sofa with tag reading Karpen Guaranteed Construction Furniture Chicago Michigan City, New York. So far I know that Lawrence K. Schnadig purchased and combined S. Karpen & brothers and International Furniture Co in 1952 to form Schnadig Corporation. I e mailed that company only to be told they knew nothing and to try Chicago Historical Society. Nothing there. I want to find age of my sofa. Karpen & Brothers was established in 1880 and International Furniture Co was founded at the turn of the twentieth century. Sooo I know my sofa was produced between 1880 and 1952. Any helpful tips would be much appreciated. - Marianne

I have a couple things I am trying to figure out if they are worth anything, their history, and/or the date of them. I have a mushroom design tea set or kitchen set. 8 cups, salt & pepper shaker, cream & sugar w/lid, napkin holder, and the tea pot. The top of the lids and salt, pepper, & napkin holer are a dark brown. The tea pot has a sideways mushroom to grip to lift the lid, the tops of the others are shaped like the tops of mushrooms. The porcelain is a cream color on all items and the handles are mushrooms/stems. There is a mushroom setting with leaves that is raised on the side of all pieces. Next I have a tea cup and a saucer that I thought were the same at first, but the pattern on the saucer is darker and the names on the bottoms are different. It is a yellow rose design w/ gold rim & a gold rim at the bottom of cup on edge. The bottom of the cup has a crown w/ Stanley - Fine Bone China England EST- 1875. The pattern is on one side of the cup outside & more design inside cup. The saucer is gold rim that fades lighter. It has the same type of pattern and the bottom of the plate says Rosina- a crown symbol- Bone China- Made in England. Thank you for your time and help. You can email me at paamms@wmconnect.com

Hi everyone, I have aquired two matching noritake vases that I'm trying to find the value of. They have what appears to be a blue bird in a tree above some pretty flowers over looking a lake. On the bottom they have the letter M inside of a wreath, the word "noritake" above the wreath, and the words " hand painted" below the wreath. Below the words "hand painted" are the words "made in japan". They were my girl friends grandmother's. she says she thinks they were produced around the civil war era. They're in great condition. Thanks for any help you folks are willing to share with me. We can't even find the pattern anywhere, and believe me we've been trying. co2h2ooo@ec.rr.com

I recently purchased a doll high chair from an estate sale and was told the lady had been collecting for more than 90 years. I believe the chair is redwood and stands 29" high and 12" wide. The seat back has three slats with four red wooden beads (two on either side centered evenly) which connect the outside pieces as one unit. On the center slat is a decal of what appears to be a yellowish smiling rabbit or bear tinged on the outer edges in red and green and it seems the animal is skipping on its hind legs. On the foot rest is an emblem which has the word American directly above a white oval, which in the oval it reads: Teach N Fun Toys. To the upper left and inset into the oval is a child with a graduation cap on. Does anyone know who the manufacturer of this chair may be? julieb@gondtc.com with any advice on how to research this. And thanks much!

I have a painting by Ben Austrian, dated 1910. It shows two chicks with a background that is plain and no other features. I would like to know if anyone might have an idea of its general value and if there is anyone serious about possible purchasing this painting for a fair price. nft@citlink.net
I have a great brain teaser. I found two bottels one Jack Daniels. The other of Southern Comfort.I found the bottels in my great grand parents house. Both the bottels look old and thay both have N.Y. paper tax stamps over the caps. The jack is 90 proof but it should be 80 Proof. The SoCo on the other hand is 100 proof but it still has a white label. If you could help me with possibel age or some place to find this info it would be great. Thanx zeropoint1028@yahoo.com
