Hi, Donna,
I recently came across this item in a box that belonged to a deceased family member. While he was not a member of any police force, he had a few friends who were. My boyfriend and I cannot agree on what this is. He thinks it is a Continue reading “Treasure Hunt 20/08/06”

Treasure Hunt 20/07/30
Dear Donna,
Can you help with an approximate value on old 1930s to 1940s Christmas cards? I just don’t want to put them in the trash. Could you give me some advice and possibly let me know of someone who would want them?

Treasure Hunt 20/07/02
Dear Donna,
My name is Cathy and my daughter found this at an antique store in New Hampshire. She thought I would like it, as I work part time at Macy’s. I looked online and couldn’t find a bottle that looked like this one. It looks handmade, not mass produced, Continue reading “Treasure Hunt 20/07/02”
Treasure Hunt 20/07/23
Dear Donna,
I’m trying to figure this watch out; it’s working, but other than that I know nothing. I bought it at a flea market a couple years ago and just recently dug it out of a drawer.

Dear Bev,
I am chuckling after your explanation of buying it Continue reading “Treasure Hunt 20/07/23”
Treasure Hunt 20/07/16
Dear Donna,
Can you help me with this item? It looks to be silver, and we were thinking maybe it’s a tie ring. It is too big to be a ring for a finger, and the end is removable.
Susan
Dear Susan,
I have to say this is the first Continue reading “Treasure Hunt 20/07/16”

Would you have any information on the value of this set? I am interested in selling it. There are no blemishes that I can see.
Nancy
Dear Nancy,
I have to start off by saying Hummels are a sad subject (interesting history to read about, though). They are Continue reading “Treasure Hunt 20/07/09”
Treasure Hunt 20/06/25
Dear Donna,
I got this from my uncle when he passed away and was wondering what the value of it is. I also have lunch box baseball cards and costume jewelry from him I would like to get values on later.

Dear Donna,
Nice name! What your uncle has Continue reading “Treasure Hunt 20/06/25”
Treasure Hunt
Dear Donna,
I have a couple of hangers I’m looking to find out more about. They say ‘The Belmar Mfg Co.’ I thought they were very interesting when I bought them at a local thrift store. Any information and a value would be helpful.

Treasure Hunt 6/11/2020
Dear Donna,
Can you possibly tell me what this is and what it was for? It is solid wood and 3.5 inches. I recently found this in a barn and thought it was interesting.
Ellen
Dear Ellen,
What you found is called a bung. I have seen many in the Continue reading “Treasure Hunt 6/11/2020”
Concord Dairy Sign
Dear Donna,
I have this sign from The Concord Dairy. I’m not sure what to do with it and am wondering if you could help with a value. It’s a big one, 8’x4’, and it could be a plywood. I’m not sure of the age.
Carl
Dear Carl,
My first Continue reading “Concord Dairy Sign”
