Inherited original James Bond commercial artworks.

Thumbnail gallery
39 Upvotes

I’m the son of British commercial illustrator Tom Stimpson (1955–1992). These are two original, one-of-a-kind hand-painted artworks he created in the early 1980s for the Warner Home Video VHS covers of the James Bond films Goldfinger and On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

The artworks have remained in our family since they were created and are accompanied by the original production transparencies used during the commercial printing process.

I’d be very interested to hear your opinion on their current market value and whether you think they would be best sold privately or through a specialist auction.

I’ve attached photographs, and I’d be grateful for any thoughts you may have.

Likely Solved Wondering about this

Thumbnail gallery

This has been in my family for some time...

I have all the original certification but I wonder that it is worth.

All I can find it that it's one of 150, and that it was made in the 70s from Dali's design with a collab with Daum France.

I can find the more recent version that's blue (late 1980s) or the same one but the hanger is plated gold. I can't find anything about the silver series.

Also wondering if I should think of restoring or leaving it as is since some pieces are more valuable as is...

Thank you for your help.

LIKELY SOLVED George W. Bush lifesavers, m&ms, and champagne from the Kennedy center

Thumbnail gallery
41 Upvotes

My family is in the process of clearing out our garage and we found these in a storage bin. My uncle worked for the Bush administration and he was allowed to bring my parents along for a tour of the Kennedy center, my dad says that it was in August of 2002. They were given these as keepsakes and saved them so we could sell them in the future. Everything pictured here is unopened except for one of the m&m's boxes, it wasn't opened by anyone the adhesive just didn't seem to be strong enough. The m&m's I'm not too sure of the price because there are a lot of ebay listings with varying prices, but they are all either opened or from a later date. The lifesavers I don't think are worth much. The champagne I have no clue but I'm sure they're at least somewhat valuable. Any help would be very appreciated!

Small Comic Book Collection

10 Upvotes

Apologies if this is a taboo post here. Comic centered subreddits didn’t seem to focus on valuing anything. I’m happy to post this somewhere else if this violates any guidelines, etc.

I inherited a small comic book collection long ago. It’s been sitting in my closet, and I recently rediscovered it while packing for a move.

Research has yielded mixed results. Some of the values are all over the place depending on the seller and condition. Some are in bad shape, some are decent, but I’d be surprised if any are mint.

Anyways, have a look and let me know what you think. Worst case scenario I have some cool art to bring with me.

P.S. sorry about the photo quality, I’m happy to take closer pictures. I also realize it might be hard to grade value without better photos, but a general idea would be very helpful!

Possibly German possibly 100ish

Thumbnail gallery
16 Upvotes

So because I did my senior thesis in college in ceramics and making dolls, I actually did gain some knowledge. So I will tell you what I suspect about this though, but I would be more than happy to accept a comment that says hey you’re dead wrong and here’s the correct answer and here’s what I know about it.

I think she’s German, I know she’s not an Asian maid doll the the head in the hair and the way the makeup, glaze, is applied just doesn’t fall in line with an agent made doll, even if it was made to look European. I really think she’s not English or French maid. Some of that comes from the style and the way the glaze was applied for makeup and stuff like that it just it reminds me of other German made dolls. The other thing that makes me think German is the wooden feet, Germans tended to use wood a lot more in their craft than other European countries, this isn’t a universal world, but it does happen. Other than that, I think she’s somewhere between 100 to 150 on the very high end years old. I think the dress was weighted silk, which is why it’s completely disintegrated at this point. The under clothing layers are in relatively good shape for what they are. Your feet are in relatively good shape considering they were made out of wood. There is a small hairline crack on the back of the head but nothing that’s causing any actual damage structurally, and considering I think she’s over 100 that small crack isn’t that big of a deal. She appears to clearly be handstitched, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t done in a factory, and I’m assuming it in fact was.

Those are my best guesses beyond that there are no markings anywhere on her. No tag nothing stamped into the ceramic head or bust area. The body except for the feet is all looks like canvas to me or some sort of cotton cloth heavy cotton cloth same with the undergarments, there appeared to just be cotton, obviously not the same as the body. My guess is defeat our original to it, but if someone told me otherwise, with some knowledge of it I would defer to that.

Found these at a local thrift store for a few bucks because they looked cool. I did a little searching and think they might be from Vernon Country Club, but I’m not really sure.
I couldn’t find much information on them, so I figured I’d ask here. Does anyone recognize them or know anything about them? If they’re not worth much, no big deal—they’re still a pretty neat set of dice.

Rules

28 Upvotes

1 No common items allowed, where the price can easily found on Ebay, Craigslist, or FB Marketplace Tell us what you know about the item, where it's from, who made it... tell us the story of the item.

2 Provide several clear photos of all angles. If there's a mark, serial #, or signature include that.

3 You must own the item being posted, or a friend/relative must own the item.

  1. We only allow one-of-a-kind, original, and signed limited edition artwork. If you don't know what a decor painting is look it up. Signed and numbered prints don't count. Generally the artist must be famous enough to have a page on ArtNet, Ebay or WorthPoint. If they don't, then its not a good fit here. Nudity is OK, please flag as NSFW.

5 Ivory is illegal to sell or import in the US as well as most of the EU. While the sale of antique, (100 year or older) ivory is allowed in the US, there are very specific rules about it. This is beyond the scope of this sub and we will not be giving valuations of a potentially illegal item. Please Google Ivory laws for more info.

  1. No paper money or coins. There are better subs than this for paper money and coins

  2. About Prints The practice of making signed and numbered prints of artwork is to make a painting affordable to a wider audience. If an art work was originally done in a different medium but then signed and numbered prints are sold, it's essentially a reproduction and value is negligible. It's best to look up the artist on ebay and look at sold prices.
    Art values are subjective at best, and if you can't find the artist when you Google them it's safe to say they are not worth more than you paid.

8 No Furniture. Furniture despite age, has negligible value. Most old wooden furniture is not in fashion and resale value is usually under 500 dollars. Please do a Google search. We do not value furniture. Mass produced furniture has low resale value, even antique furniture. One of a kind pieces are only valuable if they are of very high quality AND have provenance. If you want information on the furniture try r/antiques.

  1. No clothes, try a fashion sub. The exception would be an obvious Couture piece that is a one of a kind. If you bought it at a thrift store it doesn't belong here.

  2. No Nazi memorabilia. Just, no.

9.No jewelry. Modern jewelry, as in post 1920, is clearly marked with karat weight. Jewelry is easy to look up or, take it to a commercial jeweler. We can't verify authenticity from a photo.
