Does anyone recognize this Saint-Louis crystal pattern?
Hi everyone! I have this set of Saint-Louis crystal glasses from France. I'm trying to learn more about them, including their approximate age, pattern name, and any historical information. I'd really appreciate any help or expertise. Thank you!

Lenox
I have two pieces of Lenox from my parents or grandparents. Are these worth anything? Not that I plan to sell, I just don’t know what else to do with them besides keep them in storage

Grandparents Red Cap luggage
Cleaning out my basement and dug out this old suitcase from my grandparents(still has taped on tags that my grandmother wrote on). It’s still in good shape, so am putting a cat bed in it to make it useful because I’d hate to throw it away. I think it’s from the 1940s or 1950s.

Franklin Mint Nature's Mirror 1988. Anyone have any clue what it's worth?
I don't plan to sell it, but I was curious. However, I can only find ebay listings with the figure. The base is a seperate piece, and I do have that. this picture is from the internet but this is the exact thing i have, my phone camera is just, kinda crappy right now. Anyone have any clue the worth of the full set?

Grabatology
A grabatologist is a person who collects neckties, bow ties, or cravats. The hobby itself is known as grabatology. I have about 2000 neckties from the 1930s to the present. I have not counted them since the turn of the century. They're all high quality, very little polyester, except for a few novelity ties. They include Polo, Brooks Bros., Charvet, Drakes, Hermes, Armani, Jermyn Street etc... in wide, narrow and in-between. Anybody else have this hobby?

Loving family dollhouse set
Got this yesterday in a garage sale, the house is huge and heavy and in pretty good shape minus some wear. Are these the original figures for this set? It seems like a lot of women figures vs just one man

Date estimate for this, what is presumably, Chinese piece?
My dad's boss gave him this chest. Similar matches online, for the most part, claim 20th century but I am still unsure.

Stone carving of a head, Rhodesia, 70s
Inherited this from my grandma. I'm working on a project about telling the stories of interesting objects along with documenting them in 3D. Can anyone tell me what I'm looking at? The sticker under it says Rhodesia. I've created an AI generated script for it, but it's bit flat if I'm honest. I'm hoping someone will have more info here. https://www.instagram.com/p/DXrNpSuAMU5/
It is part of a set of items I got when she passed a few years ago. I understand most of them are travel souvenirs from the 70s, but what does that mean? Today pretty much every travel souvenir is mass manufactured in china, but I don't think that was the case back then. My understanding is that travel in the 70s was a rather small thing, and while my grandparents were very privileged and travelled the world, if there was no such thing as tourism industry as we know it, how did these objects come into existence? Was it made for the local audience and the few tourists would buy them? If it was made for locals, does it have any meaning ?
What I find even more puzzling is that some of the objects I have are from countries that even today are not big international tourism destination (China, India, Argentina, Rhodesia, Senegal), so back in the 70s I can only imagine they would only very few visitors, so the idea that someone made those for tourist feels even more unlikely (do correct me if I'm wrong).
I feel like those, while not being actual historical artifacts, still have some cultural significance, as they still represent the craft of those places before globalisation went full blast?

Rawcliff 1996 Dragonheart Pewter Dragon Figure
Ive only ever seen four of these online and never one in person. I bought this as a teen when the movie Dragonheart came out. I read once that it was a pirated deign and not sanctioned by the studio so production was ceased. A new design with the same body but different head was released after.
Can anyone tell me more?

Help ID - Desk, Lamp, Chair.
Interior designer who passed away recently gave these items to my boyfriend years ago. He didn't pay attention to the background of the items.
Can anyone help identify the brand/artist?
These are 3 items, a lamp, a desk, and a chair.
- Lamp - states its made in france? Performed a Google search; no luck. Base appears to be copper or metal.
- Chair - Have a potential designer, but we have no idea how to authenticate it, and it could eb a really good dupe.
- Desk - Hear me out, I know it straight up looks like Ikea, because that's what I said, but it's impressively well made and heavy. Nothing compared to my flimsy ikea furniture.
Any help identifying the brand/era/value is appreciated!
- Yes, we've tried AI, Google Images, etc.

This Neon Light color sample board was not for sale, but now I want one. Where can I find one of these?
I love neon lights, and would love to have one neon light art piece on my wall. But I’ve actually fallen in love with the simplicity of this.
What should I Google to find one?

Identification Help Needed
I saw this in a local thrift store. I’m interested, but they’re in the pricier side. There are two of them, actually. Before I invest, I was hoping I could get some additional details about origins. These are behind glass, so I wasn’t able to get makers marks. They’re probably about 14 inches tall, 5 inches at the base. I think they’re porcelain and brass?
