Picture of George Dewey

Category
General Antiques and Collectibles
Condition
Good
Description

This picture was recovered from an older painting that had an ugly frame that my Grandma got back in the 40's - 50's from a women who lived in a small town in Central Illinois.

About 3-4 years ago, my mother replaced the frame and the picture was behind the main one. After some searching, I found out that it is George Dewey, a famous Admiral in the US Navy.

Now I can't tell if it is a picture, or a painting. I'm not sure how that stuff worked back when this was produced. To me, it looks like a painting, but it has no texture to the touch, so I am unsure. Maybe it is a picture and I just don't recongize that.

Here is a picture of the item in question..

Here are some closeups of his buttons, etc..

I've always wondered if this had any value, or if it was just one in the millions found around the country. I have been hesitate to take it to a dealer to pay $200 to get it appraised only to find out it is worth $10.

 

Thank you,

Mark Wagner

fiber optic stag beer light

Category

Condition
Good
Description

I have a Stag fiber optic light.  It reads "Stag BEER". When plugged in, the letters twinkle in an alternating red and white repeating pattern.  It's shadow-box style.  The fiber optic tubes can be seen behind the letters, leading down to the bottom.  The bottom, front right reads 5312 PB c. 1973 Carling Brewing Co., Belleville, ILL.  A sticker on the back. top right reads "Manufactured Exclusively for STAG Carling Brewing Company, Belleville, Illinois by UMC Electropics, INC. Pat. NO. 3,184,872, Model NO. 5312 PS, Part NO. 108.   What's it worth? Thanks for your help.
