I have a very unique item that i need appraised, it is very petite, brass covered checkbook dated 1920's on the actual checks, and it was patented on april 10 1917.  any info on this item would be appreciated!!! it has birks enscribed on back of brass cover and mount royal hotel on the front.  It is hinged and in very good condition, all the checks are in the checkbook, never used. from the turn of century, victorian women mabey could have worn these around there waist with other household items. very valuable to the right collector, am willing to sell at the right price.

The Eagle Claw Factory, which is coincidentally just down the road from where I live in Denver, told me that it was manufactured right there in Denver in 1966.  They said it was in great condition and an exceptional item.

"your examples are significantly better quality than most examples I
have come across with this mark on them, 

Your set dates approximately 1926 as this mark was initially registered
in Bombay in 1926 though this mark was used for many markets, such as
Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, the then Dutch East Indies, French Indo
China, British Raj India, the Dominion of South Africa, and many
others.  It has even been found in Israel which was formerly Palastine.

I have seen a very rare piece of blue desert scene with this mark and it
has a pattern number which was purchased from a family which bought the
set in 1927 and it was sold in Jerusalem.  It is also known that this
mark was shipped in small quantities to the United States, and to the
United Kingdom as well.

it is a a very beautiful set.  I am sure RC collectors would pay alot of money to get it.  Pieces with the red mark are less common than ones with either the blue or the green.  The green being the most common of backstamps
to be found with this mark.

This Homer Laughlin teapot is about 8" high from the base to the top of the lid. The pot is a deep burgundy or red with extensive gold filigree on both the bowl and the lid. The handle, spout and top of the lid are all gold. There is some wear on the gold but no chips, crazing or cracks on the pot or lid. The pot measures about 10" from the tip of the spout to the handle and about 7" across the fullest part of the pot. The bottom is stamped with a crest that is divided into 5 parts:

The top says: Homer Laughlin; the upper left and lower right quadrants have a lion; the upper right has 2 circles with flower; the bottom left has 3 fleur de lis. Below the crest is a banner: "Warranted 22K Gold" There are no dates or lettering indicating production date. Can anyone identify this pattern, and give an estimate of value? Thank you
