Here is "Uncle Alfred". We acquired him in an auction lot, and liked him, so he's on the wall. And, after I took these pics, he needs a dustin', too. Anyhoo... I know NOTHING about him. Anyone care to opine? I took a close up of his face - it has lines through it that remind me of the presidential portraits on bills. I don't know what medium this is. The frame is pretty beaten on the corners - the pic is of the worst one. Frame measures 29 x 25 x 3 I've posted him on the antiques...

From the estate of an elderly antique dealer came this rare find - a livery coat from the UK, dating (by the name/address combination of the buttons) to between 1861 and 1870. It is a swallowtailed black wool with tons of very heavy gold braid. The buttons bear the United Kingdom's coat of arms. (Photos follow.) I have run into a brick wall trying to research this further. I don't know WHO had black livery, how to begin to determine a value, or much of anything else. This is a really...

Good morning all. I found this comb and has passed the burnt hair smell test for tortoise shell. I had a feeling it was, given the obvious date. It's also big, about 10" long. My questions are--is it worth listing and/or is there a ban on tortoise shell? Thanks in advance, Denise

Does anyone know anything about this print? It is dated copyright 1900. The image of the clock and frame in the background is actually a reflection as some sort of photographic error (or staged). I rescued this in a pile of junk at an auction and had glass and backing put on the old frame. I just think it is so charming and would love to know who took the photograph.
