Hello, Donna.
Picked these tickets up at a yard sale last year. Would these be valuable today? I found them interesting.

Dear Donna,
Can you tell me anything about these folks? There is a stamp that says ‘Japan’ on the bottom. They are my wife’s and we have never used them. What do you think?
Thank you.

Dear Donna,
Can you tell me if people even still use alarm clocks? This was in my parents’ home for years. It still works fine. I just don’t have a need for it any longer.
Does it have value to someone?
Thanks, Donna.

Dear Donna,
I have a question about this tiny chicken plastic charm. My mom always had it in a jewelry box. It was special to her. Would you know why? Thanks, Donna,

Dear Donna,

Thanks.

Dear Donna,
Is my mom’s mother’s recipe book of any interest or value to anyone? I have all the recipes I need and hate to toss it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time. Enjoy reading your responses in the Hippo.

I’m laughing because my Continue reading “Treasure Hunt 23/06/01”

I have these five salt dishes with stamps from Prussia. No chips, perfect condition. Can you give me the value for these?
Gail
Dear Gail,
Your salt dishes by CS Prussia were produced in the late 1800’s or early 1900’s. That is what the blue mark on the bottom Continue reading “Treasure Hunt 23/05/25”
Hi, Donna.
Here’s a photo of a desk that has been in our family since the 1920s. Can you tell us anything about it? We were living in Michigan at the time.
Thanks.
Judi
Dear Judi,
Nice clean piece of furniture. It could have even been manufactured in Michigan.
Hi, Donna.
Our daughter got these two pieces about 20 years ago in Somerville, Mass. and was told they were antiques. We can’t find any markings. The bureau hardware is not original to the bureau.
She has moved to the West Coast and asked us to sell these pieces. We Continue reading “Treasure Hunt 23/05/11”
