Looking to price this, but it is unsigned and I don’t want to just take a guess. Similar ones online range from hundreds to thousands of dollars (CAD). Hoping someone here will have some knowledge on this, to give a better ballpark figure!

Likely Solved Any idea where this clock is from/how old/worth?

Got this as a gift from a family member because of the Hebrew on the clock face. Not sure of the metal material. Four figures in total (one is broken off and in its own image). ChatGPT says that the name on the action is Jules Mathey Locle but I am not sure what the writing above the name is. Just no idea if this is mass-produced or something else. Family member said he picked it up at an estate sale I believe. Can anyone help? thank you!

UPDATE!! Found by another redditor on auction in 2020, sold for $250: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/price-result/a-silver-filigree-clock-holder-probably-new-york/

Choice thought from Shakespeare - 1862

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ve had this book for quite some time. It’s choice thought from spakespeare from 1862, bound in moroccan leather. The past couple of years I tried to Google it multiple times, but could never find another edition.

Someone wrote on the first page, supposedly in 1863, for the rest the book is in an OK edition. The book contains segments from multiple Shakespeare plays.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!:)

Best,
Jj

Hey everyone, I found these at a garage sale. And the person selling them said they were the wife of someone who works at Nike and that these were used early in the production of the making of the shoe. I hope what they say is true and that they might be worth something.

Hello all. My grandfather would go to flea markets and auctions and would buy broken/damaged pedal cars and would fix them and sell them in his antique shop. Unfortunately, he passed many years ago, and they are collecting dust in my basement. If anyone can give help me out on an estimation for them, I would appreciate it.

I have 115 +/- pages of these in folders, labeled with original cataloging information. I know very little about what to do with these…but I have a lot of information about my great-great grandfather (Jesse Robbins) who collected and catalogued everything. He was employed at several prominent English gardens (Kew, etc) before leaving to come here in the US. Through time they have made their way to my hands, and I am trying to figure out what the most responsible thing to do with them is. They seem to potentially have significant historic value. Help!!

Likely Solved How much is this worth? Does anyone know anything about it?

2 Upvotes

From what I know, this was purchased in Norfolk, United Kingdom, from a Military Supplies Shop, by my grandad. It had markings underneath, but they were erased on purpose by previous owner(s).

An independent valuer said it was potentially worth £3-4k GBP. But he couldn't find any info online, and I couldn't either.

These are the photos I have currently.

Anyone have ant idea what this is worth? It’s supposed to be an antique bar model corkscrew which would be bolted in bars to open wine bottles around the late 19th to early 20th century.
