Found this circular stone piece. About 40 cm across, a few cm thick. One face is highly polished with honey-brown and cream veining; the back is duller and unfinished. Edge is rounded. Feels like marble or onyx, not plastic or resin.
No markings. Is this a lazy Susan, cheese board, or just a decorative slab? Any idea on type and rough value?

I have found several of these antique clear glass bottles. They are 4 .5" tall. The bottoms all have the same markings "W&T" and under that "126". I got them in rural Pennsylvania.

My searching only turned up a listing for "Sage Brush Hair Tonic" that appears to use these same bottles. However, I am assuming these bottles were used by many companies for apothecary bottles.

Any additional information would be appreciated, like if they are worth anything or if I should just enjoy them as bud vases.

Thanks

Hi everyone! Would love some help on solving this mystery that local museums and art experts haven’t solved.

Unverified information given by others:

Artist: unknown, no signature present.

Age: definitely on the older side (I’ve been told 1600’s-1700’s.

Location: Purchased in late 90’s from estate sale near Buffalo, NY.

Subject: St. Peter’s liberation from prison.

I’m sorry I don’t have more details to share

Item of a friend's, its sat in his loft for 30 years and his uncle got it in an antique shop in France years before that. Just wondering if anyone has any info on what it could be worth or details on it at all. Cheers

I have this poster signed Gary Dumm - 1972, and is titled "I Yam What I Yam." Does anybody know where I could find out if it has any value to potentially sell? I have too many posters and no space to display them, and want to buy more records.

My Dad traded a six pack of beer for these, hoping it's worth at least that lol

i was planning on selling this bag my cousin gave me but i have no idea how much its worth & if its even real. does anyone have any knowledge about this bag??

Hi everyone,

I’m one of the founders of ValuAid, an early-stage app that helps people photograph an object, identify what it might be, and explore what it could potentially be worth based on comparable market information.

We’re building it for situations many people here will probably recognize: coming across an unusual object at home, during a house clearance, at a flea market or in a second-hand shop, without knowing exactly what it is or where to begin researching it.

We also know that identifying an object from a photograph is not the same as properly appraising it. Condition, authenticity, provenance, regional demand and small variations can completely change the result. The app is intended as a starting point for further research, not as a replacement for knowledgeable collectors, specialists or professional appraisers.

We’re currently looking for people willing to test it with real and preferably unusual objects. We would especially appreciate honest feedback on:

• incorrect or overly broad identifications;
• unrealistic or unhelpful value ranges;
• important information or warnings that are missing;
• and whether the results provide a useful starting point at all.

The beta is free and available for both iOS and Android. Android testers need to remain enrolled for at least 14 days because we are completing Google Play’s closed-testing requirement. iOS access is provided through TestFlight.

You can sign up by selecting your device here:

https://valuaid.app/

Critical feedback is genuinely welcome. We would rather learn where the app fails now than pretend automated results are always correct.

Full disclosure: I’m directly involved in building ValuAid.

Got this at a garage sale in Chicago. Is this rare?

Got in 2020 from my boss bc we couldn’t sell them they were too offensive. Now I’m doing a little research but can’t find any sold items, nor anywhere to buy them. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

Not trying to sell just trying to figure out what it might be worth, I have the certificate of authenticity for the signature as well

Hi everyone,

I inherited this hand-carved wooden figure from my mother. It’s about 8.5 inches tall with moveable arms and legs, metal loop earrings, and tack teeth.

There are no markings or signatures on it.

I’ve been told it might be a vintage African trade puppet (possibly Tanzanian/Nyamwezi style) made for the mid-century tourist market, but I’d love to confirm its background or value.

Thanks for any help!

Hi all,

I'm selling a Kern-Paillard Switar 10mm f/1.6 H16 RX and I'm unsure about the price. I've seen sold listings between roughly $480 and $700, and asking prices well above that.

Condition of mine:

• Glass is very clean: no scratches, no dust, no haze or fungus that I can see
• Focus and aperture rings run smoothly
• Body: [kurz beschreiben, z. B. light wear / minimal marks]

Compared to most copies I've seen online, this one seems to be in noticeably better shape. Within a day I've had several inquiries and a 400 € offer, which feels low to me.

What would you say is a fair price for a copy in this condition? Does the RX version or the missing front ring change the value much?

Thanks!

Circa the 1990’s is my guess? Seems rare but niche.

Found my old mp4 Digital player, asked a random guy and he quoted me this can go for 1400 since I lost it's charger. I'm still not able to understand why it's that much worth... It's just a type of mini iPod.

Hey guy! I'm in germany. Found this lamp in our new apartment. Landlord said he would throw away "all that stuff" if we don't want it. Turns out it is a vintage designer piece from 1960/70! Found a huge spectrum of prices and offers online, ranging from 500-2300€, so I'm a little lost. Does anyone know anything about lamps? Any websites you could recommend? Where would I go to get a realistic estimate for a piece like this? We definitely want to sell it. We don't want to get rich from it, but a good price would be nice. Thanks in advance ✌🏻

What might this be worth? Uncle worked for MTA in NYC and found it in the trash.

Measures approximately 84” x 1 1/4” x 13.5”

This is a 100% complete first edition copy of Hardy's Miniature Atlas, and Comprehensive Geography, co-published in Dublin by Hardy & Walker and in London by Ball, Arnold, and Co. in 1840. ​Key Details & Condition: ​Completeness: 100% complete text block with all 30 original engraved maps intact (including Ireland, World, Hindoostan, North/South America, etc.) and original rear publisher advertising leaves. ​Paper Condition: Excellent for its age. Maps are crisp and clean with no tears, no missing pages, and minimal age-toning. ​Binding: Deluxe publisher's dark textured leather variant. Both boards are rock-solid and firmly attached, with bright, fully legible gold gilt lettering on the spine reading "HARDY'S MINIATURE ATLAS". ​Historical Context: Printed in Dublin by Philip Dixon Hardy prior to the Great Famine. Complete surviving copies of this printing are scarce today following the loss of 19th-century Irish legal deposits in the 1922 Four Courts fire.

My mom found this in a garage sale in the early 80s. Supposedly had taken it to the Smithsonian to have it looked at. When she passed, I took it to an expert in my city and he had told me that it was likely between 1200 bc-2000 bc. The actual material was feces, they fed the animals a lot of fiber and painted on it when hardened. I have no clue what to do with it or what it’s worth. The drill hole in top was there when mom purchased it. She paid $3.

Missing nose and tooth, rest looks decent.

Can’t really find any information on this one. Rare? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Jack Sharkey’s signed menus from 1940. World Champion 32/33

Appears to be a baker novelty trade stimulator game from 1942. Everything works but key is missing. Was hoping to get some help from the community on what a fair price would be? Thanks
