Dear Donna,
I picked this small autograph book up a few years back. It’s 5”x7” and has about 60 autographs from Holyoke, Mass., 1884. I’m done enjoying reading it, so now I’m looking for a new home. Can you give me a value on this? Thank you for any help, Continue reading “Treasure Hunt 23/09/21”

Dear Donna,
My wife and I spotted this set of items at an estate sale in Manchester. They were in the old kitchen, where there were many types of baking molds. But we’re not sure about these.

Good morning, Donna.
I’m wondering if you appraise 33 and 45 records. Or can you help with someone who can for me? They are earlier musicians from before the 1970s.
Thank you.
Marie

Dear Donna,
Is this pizza cutting board old? I recently picked this up at a flea market and I’m wondering. Thanks so much for any information.

Dear Donna,
I believe my grandfather bought this to use for my mother around the year 1927. As you can see from the attached pictures, it can be used as a tall high chair, short chair, both with or without the tray table. It is also on wheels.
