This manuscript has been in my family for a long time amidst a very very large collection of KGB and NKVD badges. I have plugged the text into several translators with varying results. It seems to be a handwritten thank you letter possibly accompanying a gift for the labor of building a structure. It is addressed as "The Assistant Chief of Staff" with many accompanying signatures at the end. It appears to be dated in the bottom right corner along with possibly the artist’s signature.

Any help regarding the origin of purpose of this document would be very helpful. A true non-google translation would also be helpful if possible as it appears a lot of words don’t translate well.

Any help is much appreciated, thank you!

Recently acquired. I don’t know

much about this. Feels like waxed canvas, used to have a liner and something that snaps to the back of the jacket.

Old parchment- cream in color with dark ink and a wax stamp. Bought at an estate sale. Looking to for help at identifying and appraising.

My father brought these back from WWII.  No real information on them.  Looking for information and value for insurance.  Thanks. 

I have an old cookie jar, and did a little research on it.  It is a Smiley the pig cookie jar with the head being a piggy bank.  It has gold accents and is stamped on the bottom "Shawnee USA - Patented Smiley 60".  I got it from my sister, who got it from her mother in law.  Unfortunately, my sister let her boys break the bottom of the piggie bank head to get the coins out.  But, the rest of it is in fairly good condition.  I just wanted to kmow if it's worth keeping, or if I should toss it in the trash.

Thanks!

It's a ceramic floor lamp. About 110cm tall. I believe it's from Germany and from the 1960s. Thinking it may be designed by kaiser leuchten. 

Blue and orange in colour. 

No chips or cracks.
