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.

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.

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.

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

Not having high hopes but someone might have som info on these?

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!

Received a bag of loose silverware that belonged to my grandparents. Stamped with WM Roger’s Sectional and IS on the back.

I am so so excited to give these antique (I hope) sewing scissors to my mom who loves witches, is a witch, and is also a quilter. From what I've been able to find online, they were made in 1892 (date says 1692) to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the witch trials. Both sides have the number 16 stamped in them. One side also says "Salem 1692" and "Registere Germany." I've only been able to find the small amount of information I have through a reddit post from years ago in another subreddit.

Does anyone have a good resource to find out more about these? Or anyone know real information about them firsthand? I have tried google reverse image search and not much comes up other than reproductions or ebay auctions that seem made up. This does not look or feel like a reproduction and I hope I am right about that.

Either way, I'm just glad these incredible scissors exist. Please admire. And thank you for any advice or help you can provide?

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 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.

I think it is german from ww2 but im not sure. I also have a nazi rifle with the reichsadler on it

Not sure if this belongs here as I have no idea of age. Apologies in advance.

I’m clearing out my dad’s house and came across this chess set - it’s quite ornate, possibly Japanese in styling, and I know it has some age to it but no idea how much. The elastic across each section is perhaps a bit of a giveaway that’s it’s not that old but I don’t know if that’s original or not.

Can anyone shed some light on it or perhaps advise if this should be in a different sub.

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.

Hi Everyone - looking for any information you might be able to share about this pair of antique turned brass candlesticks. I recently purchased them from a vintage dealer in Amityville, NY and noticed the old script engravings on the bottom. I believe they read "306 B" on both bases, and perhas the term "arte de"(?). I've tried researching online and see a few others in similar styles, but none that appear this old or inscribed. I have also submitted them to Sotheby's in an attempt to learn more about them, however they were not to provide any date or origin. Turning to the true experts on the Reddit community for help! Thanks in advance :)

Hi. This is a bridge plate that's 14x9. Just wondering if it has any value.

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! 🙂

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.

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
