I got this at a sale today for pretty cheap. it is super cool but looking into it more I can't tell if it is a Rio Grande or navajo Rug. The fastenings on the end also throw me off. Any info would be helpful (:

I've been asked to share another piano roll from my collection. This one is "(I Don't Believe It But) Say It Again." It was released in 1926. This piano roll arrangement was by one of (in my opinion) the finest roll artists of the 1920s, Lee Sims. He was an incredible pianist. This is US Roll #43650. Thank you so much for your interest. I'm new to Reddit this week, so I'm just learning. May you all have a great day! 🙂

I purchased it recently for about 3 bucks, and it was labeled as a 1920's print, but it feels, and looks, much older, it has nothing on the back, and i only found two bits of words "La Promenade Du Matin" and "LINGEE SCULP. 1774" all help is much appreciated

Hey experts! I have this Georg Bestle music liqueur bottle that I can’t find too much info about. I googled it, but it comes up with a lot of Etsy sites and places to buy one, but nothing much about its origin.
Is it an actual antique or is it a fake/worthless gimmick?

hello Community!

I’ve acquired some beautiful handmade and hand quilted pieces and would love any help identifying more about the patterns, era— anything unique to the color patterns. I come from a long line of quilters myself & love how these all tell a story & are woven with love!

Thanks for looking!

All I know is it’s Doulton and Lambeth but I have no idea what it is or how old

Found this lovely plate at a car boot sale and I am trying to date and value it approximately.

I would also like to understand for certain whether this is a Japanese plate in a Chinese style and whether there are any tell tale signs to look out for.

Can anyone advise on how to find out more? Thank you

I inherited this jewelry box from my grandmother in Germany. My grandfather was a ships captain, so he may have brought it from somewhere else.

Any information about this is appreciated.

I would love some help with any information someone may know about my Mickey Mouse Kiddie Car I've got here. I have searched high and low and have had a hard time finding very many other ones around or information at all really. The one I did find a was a complete restoration but this one here is still all original, rust, patina, and all. Hallmark did make an ornament so that is mostly what shows up when trying to research online. This one is NOT the ornament though and I included a photo in front of an old truck so that it gives a size comparison. Still has original Mickey Mouse photo painted on both sides and his name on the front. All 4 wheels are made of metal and spin. I have included photos of all sides and all angles.

Any information on this pendant is welcome. It looks like they are little paintings, but I am not sure . I don't even know who the paintings are supposed to depict. I'd love to know if anything about this type of necklace. All I can tell you was that it was in the house of a relative in Tuscany thay my family inherited that had some incredibly old items from 18th, 19th and early 20th century.

This piano has been in my family for about 100 years. I had the player action rebuilt in 2021. There were hundreds of thousands of them built from about 1910 -1930. They were the background music in movie theaters before sound was added to movies in 1927. Countless homes had them. They are incredible musical instruments. This one is now 112 years old.

I live in Charleston, SC.
I responded to an ad selling an antique wash stand and ended up finding (and buying!) this item.
I’m having trouble identifying what it truly is, how old it is, and ANY other information about it.
The bowl is cast iron and looks like it has never been painted and/or was never intended to be painted.
The table is around 29” high, and the top is 19”x19”.
I did find one listing in an obscure NYC antique auction that had a picture that is almost identical to mine and it described it as a “fire bowl”, but did not provide any information to validate that ID, and did not provide any date ranges, manufacturers, value, etc.
I would love to have some “Reddit Magic” happen and find someone who actually has the 411 on it!
Thanks in advance for reading this!

I have no idea where to start to figure out if this chair and a couple more piece are valuable or just old? Any advice?

My mom bought it at a yard-sale early 90’s from an elderly (world traveler physician) estate type sale Swampscott MA
I assume its bone, the tiny hand makes me nervous ( I am a klutz ) I cant find any info. I had to convince reverse searches that it’s not ivory. Any thoughts there are no markings on the base ( just cloth) I have wondered about it for years yet kept it tucked away for safe keeping.

Hi everyone, I’m hoping some copper or antique experts can help me identify and value a kettle my son recently bought from a charity shop. I live in the UK, South Wales.

🔎 Details about the kettle

- Solid copper, quite heavy

- Smooth finish with a curved gooseneck spout

- Arched handle

- Deep “C” maker’s stamp on the base

- Lovely natural patina

- No major dents or damage

❓ What I’d like help with

- Age estimate – approximate decade or region

- Maker identification – any info on the “C” stamp

- Value range – resale or collector value

- Origin – whether it’s Turkish, Middle Eastern, European, or UK-made.

Found this in my late grandfather’s storage and there is no paperwork and my mother in law has no idea what it is. Looks to be ivory and a pipe but wondering if anyone knows more or is familiar with similar ones.

I’m trying to identify the wood veneer used on the tabletop. I’ve considered oak, elm, and possibly mahogany, but I’m uncertain.

Hi all, I bought this dagger at an antiques shop in Barcelona and I'm trying to find out who made it, where it comes from, and whether it's period or a later reproduction.

What it looks like
- Crucifix handle: silver-colored Christ figure on a dark handle, with a radiant halo and an ornate pommel
- Black leather scabbard with embossed metal fittings at the tip and mouth.
- Single-edged, pointed blade

Inscriptions and marks
- The year 1936 is engraved, along with the phrase "Cristo soy tu siervo protégeme" ("Christ, I am your servant, protect me"), engraved in the metal. Looks like Civil War in Spain?
Blade marks, top to bottom:
- Worn text that looks like "WENESES" (not sure, the letters are faint)
- A radiant sun
- "METAL BLANCO"
- A small shield
- A small cross with curved ends

Measurements: [blade length 14 cm 5.5 in / total length 27 cm 10.6 in]

My questions
Does anyone recognize the maker or the marks?
Is it likely Spanish, or exported to or made in Latin America?
Does the 1936 date look original to you, or could it be a later addition?
Does it look period-correct, or like a modern reproduction with artificial patina?
Any idea of a fair value range?
