vintage teddy toy

Category
Dolls and Plush Toys
Condition
Fair
Description

This small teddy toy belonged to my Great Aunt. I have kept it wrapped up since she passed away. It is very worn as it was a well-loved toy of hers. But its unique design makes me interested to know if it still holds any value. It squeaks when the top and bottom are compressed together. and has moving arms and legs.

Upright Piano

Category
Music and Music Instruments
Condition
Excellent
Description

This piano was always in the music room of my Great Grandmother's house.  It is an Emerson upright, Black, with beautiful scroll work on front and ivory keys.  There is only 1 chipped key.  The strops on the hammers are leather and need to be replaced before it can be tuned, but there is only one cracked hammer.  The tuner said they write the date they tune a piano on the inside and the last time this was tuned was in 1927.  He also said it was one of the heaviest harps he had ever seen in a piano.  The lid is hinged and when opened, becomes the sheet music holder.  In the middle of the open lid it says Emerson Piano Co. and Boston underneath (all gold lettering).  My Great Grandmother broke up housekeeping at age 96 and lived another 12 years!  I inherited the piano at that time.  No idea what it weighs - took the movers 2 hours to move it into my house (I think they were from the 3 stooges moving company!) and made the entryway stairs crack under it's weight.  Not sure what the average weight of a piano is, but this is heavier.  Will it be de-valued if I have the strops replaced so that it can be used for lessons?  Still in relatively good tune for being moved 3 times and not tuned for 81 years!

Hand carved Chinese Sea Chest

Category
Furniture
Condition
Excellent
Description

This is a chest hand carved on all four sides and top with glass over the carving on top.  The chest has a small slatted 3 inch deep "tray" connected to the lid that lifts when you open it.  The inside is lined with cedar and the outside I believe, is mahogany (very dark).  It is stamped several places on the inside with an oval stamp that says Yuan Tai Factory and many oriental symbols.  There is a closure that can be padlocked (with a thin-hasped lock) that has a design carved on it, as well.  No clue as to the value.  Should I have it formaly appraised and insured?

Woodburning Iron Franklin Stove

Category
Other
Condition
Excellent
Description

Do not have picture.  Large, black iron woodburning stove with flat top.  Sits on legs about 3" high with a hearth that extends in front of opening.  Short oval pipe extends out the top of the back and turns upward to connect to chimney pipe.  Just want a rough idea of what it's worth.  We are removing and have some one VERY anxious to purchase.  Would like to give them a "deal" but don't want to be ignorant to it's value.  Thank you!
