Dr. Mary Walker was a surgeon during the US Civil War and is currently the only female Medal of Honor recipient. I believe this photo of her was taken before 1865 as that is when she received the medal. She wore it pretty much every day after that point and I believe it is present in every photo of her taken after that point. As far as I'm aware this photo was never copyrighted and it was present nowhere else online before I bought it.

My buddy found it claims is from a Spaniard ship

My mother and father bought this from an antique dealer shorty after I was born. My parents divorced when I was about 6, and this was left to me in the settlement. I have tried to take care of it and it will be a family heirloom. It's dated to about 1860 by the dealer at the time, not sure if it is correct.

Its quite large and looks to be an officers desk as the side handles were I believe meant for quick carry if need be. I believe is was commissioned in Ireland and used in the Mediterranean, Africa, or possibly Asia by a British Naval Officer.

Anyway I thought I'd share a unique piece of my collection. If anyone has any further details or ideas on it please feel free to comment.

Any thoughts?

Unfortunately, I was not able to edit my original post. I’ve provided additional pictures of the secretary desk. My original question was is this Tiger Oak? I think it’s been established that it is not. Any thoughts or opinions on date range/possible value of this piece would be very helpful. Thank you all for your input!!

Anyone have any clue about this necklace seems cool and old not sure what the beads are made of but seems to be silver?

Lanterns are an early Dietz HY-LO ~1915, a C.T. Ham No. 2 Clipper ~1910, and an early Dietz Victor ~1905.

Hello, found this in an old property. My auntie mentioned that its old austrian vintage stuff.

Does anyone have any idea if its worth anything?

There's a marketplace on the bottom but nothing comes up when I google it. Any ideas on when and where it might be from?

Good morning!

I found this short little rocker on FB marketplace for $20 and loved how unique it was, so I grabbed it. Now that I am home with it, I discovered a brass tag on the underside that appears to be dated, and I am curious about the history of this piece. I thought- given the price- that it was probably a reproduction, but it appears to be the real deal, and it’s in excellent condition for a chair as old as I now suspect it to be.

Can anyone give me any insight into the age, history, value etc of a rocker like this?

Thanks in advance!

I do know that it is a HMS VICTORY but that’s about all I know I would like to know a year if anyone knows and possibly a value thank you!

Hi all, hope someone can help.

I've just purchased the above from our local auction. I'm trying to shed some light as to the providence of it.

I've done so much research and so far I have the following information -

Coronation chair A mahogany chair used in the coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra in 1902 that is stamped with "GLENISTER MAKER WYCOMBE" on the front seat rail and "ER VII (with a small crown) CORONATION" on the back edge of the rear seat rail

Work chair An 1890s chair with original rexine upholstery that is stamped and numbered.

My chair is stamped SK43 GRV (and possibly i), I can't quite make it out. But it also hast a Crest stamp. I can't find any information about the Crest stamp.

I am in England.

Sorry for the long post and thank you very much in advance for any information 😊

We've had this hall tree in our family for Lord only knows how long. I'm wondering if anyone has seen a design like this or another piece like it. I'm not sure what the wood it is but it appears to be open pored. It doesn't feel heavy enough to be ash, although I'm not ruling anything out.

Unfortunately, there are no labels on the back or any hallmarks that I can find. It has iron hooks finished what I believe could be porcelain or glazed ceramic caps. The umbrella stands have iron...bowl looking things at the base, which I'm guessing kept water from getting everywhere as rain dripped off any umbrellas held there.

Regardless, I absolutely love this piece. I think it's one of the most beautiful antiques I've ever seen. I'm thrilled that it's actually in my house. But I would surely love to know more about it if possible.

Thank all of you and God bless.

Just some show and tell, anyone wanna buy some old British Penny’s?

Another possible kutani found in a thrift shop in Pennsylvania. Does this look legit? The makers mark seems about right, but I can't find an exact match.

I inherited this from my grandmother and has always been told it was late 16th century English. It was purchased in England in the 60s and was with my grandmother until her death recently. I’ve taken it to some local antique dealers in OKC and though the think the age seems right (with a few late 19th century repairs) the can’t accurately appraise it and have advised me to take it to Dallas for appraisal. Does anyone have any insight here?

Supposedly

I bought this cute side table at a design market in North Carolina. I haven't been able to find any information on it. Other than a single picture and defunct link. I think the table is early 1900's, definitely a Kittinger. Any help on identifying this would be much appreciated.
