This is an original painting by Henryc Hechtkopf, who was a Polish-Israeli artist.

He was a Holocaust survivor, born in 1910 and died in Israel in 2004. 

He lost much of his family in the Holocaust and was himself imprisoned in a Soviet labor camp. Amazing how this person created such happy paintings.

The piece is depicting a joyful Hasidic man dancing in a shtetl setting. Beautifully detailed and expressive, this artwork captures the charm of Jewish folklife. 

Watercolor? on paper, signed by the artist in the lower left in English and in the lower right in Hebrew.

Framed, no glass. I would date it c.1950-60s, did not find formal records of this work anywhere. There are cracks in color in a few places, consistent with age, would be better under glass. 

Think will keep it in the family, if to be sold then via Kedem Auctions in Jerusalem maybe.

Found a few pieces of his work sold in the past but did not manage to discover the prices.

Very similar to this work but in color: http://hechtkopf-art.com/details.aspx?CategotyID=8&ID=781

This St. Etienne 1718 flintlock pistol showcases the elegance of 18th-century firearms with its double-barrel design, intricately engraved metalwork, and rich wooden grip.  Built for historical enthusiasts and collectors it offers an authentic look while remaining non-firing and display-ready.

2 WWII ship hatch cover end tables. The coloring has been wiped off, condition is better than most I've seen 

Inherited from my parents. Been in storage. Signs of aging, but no significant flaws. Can benefit from a re-finish. Companion piece to Lane end table also posted here. Thank you for looking and let me know if additional information required.

Inherited from my parents. Been sitting in storage. Could benefit from a re-finish. Have a companion piece of Lane furniture that I will post separately.

U.S. Postage stamp from late 1920s or early 1930s. Has been used, no adhesive. I have multiple copies, some still attached to letters or post cards.

This is a Pot that was left to me by a family member who had a vast collection of artifacts and fossils. I have attached a photo of the name plate and the year associated with this artifact as well as photos of the top, the bottom and from the side. It's roughly 8 inches tall and at its widest point roughly 7 inches wide with the neck being roughly 2 inches tall with the opening being about 1.5 inches wide. I know this too has been in our family for a very long time, since the early 1900's. Once again, I have no clue what the value would be on something like this artifact. Should it be in a museum or should I have insurance added in case something was to happen to it? Just a few of the many questions that I have. Or is it worthless and a big, huge paper weight? Clearly I see the year listed on the name plate of the artifact but if I could learn more about it that would be great. Who used it, when was it used, where in the world, etc. Also the value would be nice and any other details you could provide would be fantastic as well. Thank You once again & God Bless
