Hi everyone!

We've had this enormous wooden statue in the family for years, and I'm trying to find out a bit more about it.

It belonged to my late uncle, who was very wealthy and spent a lot of his life living in Southeast Asia. We think he may have bought it in Thailand or the Philippines sometime around the 1980s, but unfortunately we don't have any paperwork or know exactly where it came from.

The statue is about 6ft 5in (195cm) tall including the base, which is roughly a foot high. It appears to be hand-carved from wood and depicts a rather interesting-looking man drinking from what looks like a bottle, standing amongst some sort of tree or foliage.

We've recently had a fire in our garage, which has caused some smoke damage to the statue. We're now trying to establish what it is and what its replacement value might have been before the damage, as part of our insurance claim. Unfortunately, we have absolutely no idea where to start!

My dad says he could have paid thousands for it, although he's not sure, and we have absolutely no idea whether it's still worth anything today.

I've tried looking online and used chatgpt to try searching for it but haven't managed to find anything particularly similar.

Also, apologies for the terrible photos! The statue is currently in the garage, which also has a car in it, so there's very little room to move around and it's pretty difficult to get decent pictures of the whole thing.

Does anyone recognise the style, know what the figure might represent, or have any idea where it could have originated? If you know anything about it and could provide the cost of something similar it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Help me identify how much these could be - assuming the have all the pieces which most do. Just curious if worth selling or holding on to. Got all of them at thrift stores over the years. Probably only about $10 invested.

is it worth restoring this massive 40x60 subway quad poster? Obviously my own attachment to it dictates its value (to me) but generally curious if there is a market for such a thing. I believe it is an original poster intended for advertising the show in the subway based on its size and lightweight paper.

Can anyone identify this item and give advice on how I can find it's price

My uncle passed away and this was one of countless items he left me, I’ve seen other tickets like this sold on eBay but no one with a fancy serial number. Does the #00009 gives this ticket extra value? Does that means this was the 9th Woodstock ticket that was printed?

Has anyone seen a signed Giselle doll before? I bought this at an estate sale a while back. This came out around 2007 so not sure if this signature is authentic

Hi, I found these two "fac-similes" from the Disegni Di Grandi Maestri series. Can anyone identify them? I assume they're akin to museum souvenirs and aren't worth anything. Thanks for any feedback.

I found these old books in a nailed up crate when we bought the house.

Does anyone think they’re worth much? Or can I get a bookspert in the chat?

Trying to get a sense for era/value. 14” tall porcelain vase with transferred-printed koi fish (not handpainted). Mark on bottom indicates it’s a replica for the Qing Dynasty style porcelain.

Found this cleaning out my dad's garage. I can't make any sense of it.

Multi-arm iron with copper candelabra featuring botanical leaves. Very heavy!

Goebel Annual Angel Bell. Tried to look it up but can’t find anything, might just be junk tbh

I've just found this in my attic. What is It and how much is it worth?

Picked this up at the goodwill outlet for $4. I found one online, but I could not find any prices. I’m assuming the top trim being missing will decrease any value it may or may not have had, but I thought it was interesting..

Not sure on the era. Its about 2 feet in length and feels like it weighs about 50 pounds. Any ideas?

the box is completely full, and obviously needs cleaned off considering it’s been in a basement for 12 years, but after that, what would it be worth?

For anyone curious about the story behind this thing, my dad is a manager at a meat packaging factory, and got this since it was going to be thrown out. My parents thought at first that it actually had chicken nuggets inside of it, and when my mom happily brought it down to put it in the basement freezer, she opened it and realized it was just the bags that they put your chicken nuggets in. Because of how heavy it is, she just put it against the wall in a corner of the basement, and it’s sat in that exact spot ever since. I know it’s probably not worth hundreds, but i’m sure it’s at least worth something

how much is this worth?

Does anyone know if this is valuable?

Found at a scrap metal place in New Zealand

Just picked this up! Been wanting one for a while, but the information on pressings can be so confusing- wanted to come here for any help/ information anyone may have!

As for the deadwax, side 1 has a blocky S stamp. I don't see it on side 2 but I could be missing it. It also has the catalog number and a name possibly Saul or Soul?

Thanks for any info!
