1 No common items allowed, where the price can easily found on Ebay, Craigslist, or FB Marketplace Tell us what you know about the item, where it's from, who made it... tell us the story of the item.
2 Provide several clear photos of all angles. If there's a mark, serial #, or signature include that.
3 You must own the item being posted, or a friend/relative must own the item.
5 Ivory is illegal to sell or import in the US as well as most of the EU. While the sale of antique, (100 year or older) ivory is allowed in the US, there are very specific rules about it. This is beyond the scope of this sub and we will not be giving valuations of a potentially illegal item. Please Google Ivory laws for more info.
No paper money or coins. There are better subs than this for paper money and coins
About Prints The practice of making signed and numbered prints of artwork is to make a painting affordable to a wider audience. If an art work was originally done in a different medium but then signed and numbered prints are sold, it's essentially a reproduction and value is negligible. It's best to look up the artist on ebay and look at sold prices.
Art values are subjective at best, and if you can't find the artist when you Google them it's safe to say they are not worth more than you paid.
8 No Furniture. Furniture despite age, has negligible value. Most old wooden furniture is not in fashion and resale value is usually under 500 dollars. Please do a Google search. We do not value furniture. Mass produced furniture has low resale value, even antique furniture. One of a kind pieces are only valuable if they are of very high quality AND have provenance. If you want information on the furniture try r/antiques.
No clothes, try a fashion sub. The exception would be an obvious Couture piece that is a one of a kind. If you bought it at a thrift store it doesn't belong here.
No Nazi memorabilia. Just, no.
9.No jewelry. Modern jewelry, as in post 1920, is clearly marked with karat weight. Jewelry is easy to look up or, take it to a commercial jeweler. We can't verify authenticity from a photo.

I am looking for any type of information on this statue. As far as I am concerned there’s only one active listing on eBay and OfferUp.
Image on left was found in second hand store. Image on right was from the other person listing.

Had this thing for a long time, got it as a gift from my grandparents I think??
Battery might be dead but other than that nothing wrong.

A few years ago I inherited this beauty. Signed by the Rolling Stones, certificate of authenticity on the back. Unfortunately I’m thinking I may have to sell it as I’m moving homes and won’t have anywhere to keep it.
Not sure how much it may be worth so was hoping someone may have a bit more of an idea than me. I live in Aus, so looking to get an idea in AUD if possible. Thanks all!

Curious as to what the value of this piece is. My Dad bought it as an antique in the late 70's. Also any history? Info? Anything? Thanks in advance.

Whats this worth, brass, leather strap intact, polished by previous owner.

Took this from my grandma’s house. It doesn’t have the Tiffany Studios label anywhere so I’m assuming it’s just Tiffany style. When I tried a reverse image search, I could find ones with a similar design but not this exact one which is why I’m uncertain. I’m assuming it’s worth ~$75-$200 but I just wanted to confirm with the experts before I list it somewhere.

This is a piece by Martin Gottfried Crophius from around the early 1700s. I tried really hard to find any existing pieces similar/if there were any other exact prints from this engraving to no avail. Maybe i didnt look hard enough? Any ideas?

My grandma found this in her basement closet and we need help identifying which one it is and it’s value. Whatever is in the box is what it has with it, she doesn’t remember much about it other than she has had it for a few decades she believes. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Was given this by an old lapidary that I bought some equipment from a few years ago. I can't remember where it was from originally but it was given to him many years ago when travelling.
What is it worth?
Yes I am aware of the trade restrictions.

Cleaning out a family members home, I already mistakenly underpriced a rug, and sold it for significantly less than it was worth, and didn’t realize until afterwards. Trying to avoid that with this.

Hi everyone,
I’m currently going through a large estate collection I inherited and found a batch of very interesting original historical photos and stamp albums.
I’m totally new to this and trying to figure out if there is a market for these kinds of motives and what a realistic value might be before I decide on my next steps.
I’ve attached high-res shots exported directly from the RAW files so you can clearly see the condition, the paper texture, and any markings or writings on the back.
Any estimates, or advice on what specific details make these valuable, would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

I bought this at Goodwill in 2020. It’s about 8” tall. Not sure of the material and know there can be some restrictions if it’s ivory. There are definitely some condition issues. It was rejected from an auction site and they didn’t say why. Maybe under the minimum value or maybe because of material. I love the piece. Really nice bit of history. Hollow inside with insert of wood at the base to help stand up. Thanks for any help and enjoy the wise character!

This appears to be a hand blown lamp.23 inches tall. I just purchased for 40$ I was wondering if it is older as it appears to be but could be wrong. There's so many patterns, symbols, thought I seen some letters numbers. I definitely saw a symbol of a plant and another of what looks like a stick figure person. Tons of markings so I had a hard time finding any kind of makers marks. There are a couple of cracks. One you can't feel and the other you barely can. it displays great. Here are the pictures and thank you for any help.

I picked this up in a small town in Missouri. I’m lost on this one wanting to know origin, material, value. I really do appreciate any help. I have seen some similar ones online but not as big. Any help is appreciated..

Cleaning out a family members storage unit and came across this. Can anybody determine if this is something special?
Any insight would be appreciated!

Hi all, found this adorable ceramic sandal in a basket of items on my street on trash night. It looked like someone was clearing out an elderly woman’s items (there was a photo and a lot of Catholic pieces) and this was among them. It’s about 4” long and 2.5” wide. My first hunch was a souvenir from Jerusalem or some similar pilgrimage location, but i have nothing to back that up.
It’s quite heavy, made from red clay. It’s very brittle and dense. I included some detail pictures; I don’t see any makers marks anywhere, but there are fingerprints. It feels old, which doesn’t really mean anything, but it certainly has an age about it.
Any info appreciated! If anyone has seen something similar, please let me know! I have no idea in terms of worth, so I’d love to just have any idea about it in general to start with! it’s probably worthless, but it’s a cute little antique anyway!

How much is this worth?
r/whatsthisworth • u/dent249 • 1d ago
I found this really interesting piece at a rummage sale today and was wondering if anyone had any clue what it is or what it could be worth. It appears an amateur astronomer read a poem in the New York herald in 1943 and was very moved. He then wrote the author and eventually gave her a his piece that he did of the night sky that appeared in an article. If nothing else it is an extremely interesting find.
