ANTIQUEHAVEN

I have some antique sugar tongs that have a mark that I have not been able to identify. Can you please help me out? The mark belongs to Joseph Gilbert of Birmingham, England and is from the late 19th c. The EP stands for Electroplate. They are worth up to $35

Can you help me identify this figure? I believe it's a 45mm Marx figure. I found this with several other Marx Cowboys, Indians, and Cavalry men - but I can't seem to figure out which set this particular piece belongs to. Thanks in advance! This 45mm figure is known as a "pioneer" and is one of 10 pioneers that appeared in Marx's 1952 Fort Dearborn Set. The original color was beige. This yellow colored pioneer is likely from a later set or package.

Hi I have been given 3 Napco Figurines: "Little Mother hh1d" "Wash Day ah901" and "Ironing ah901" and 2 Nikko Pieces 200f and 200l and cannot find anything on these. Any assistance would be good. Thanks. All 3 of your Napco Figurines were made in the 1950's-early 1960's and were meant to be an inexpensive alternative to Goebel's Hummel Figurines. They were made in similar style by Japanese manufacturers and imported by National Potteries Corp (NAPCO). They are worth around $7.50 each. If the Nikko pieces are Christmas related, they hold very little value. There were many pieces and I would need to know what they are.

There is no hotter collectible than old fishing lures. Put a tackle box in the corner of your garage sale and when the door opens, stand back and watch the stampede. Last summer my dad and I made an estate purchase and were happy to find a cute little fella called a Cork-Head Minnow made by Garland Brothers out of Florida in the 1930's. A tough lure to find, the cork head's body is made of wood and it's head.......well.....you can guess. SOLD $590

I have this figurine and would like to know what it is. I have included pictures of the mark on the bottom. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! What you have is a Kewpie figurine, made in Japan, and imported by Lefton China Company around the 1970's. The foil sticker is missing on the bottom. The "N" in a circle mark is the Japanese factory that made the figurine for Lefton. Napco had a similar mark, but, this figurine also has KW 143 marked on the bottom, which is the numbering system Lefton used for their Kewpie line of figurines. This "Boy Pulling Up Pants" figure is worth around $10-25.

This fall I picked up a pair of scarce Gonder Pottery figural lady bells. One is cream colored the other blue. The cream colored one has a very hard to find paper label that says "Sovereign Gonder U.S.A." The bell measures 3 1/2" in height and is simplistic and rather crude in it's design. My guess is that this was made near the end of their ceramic arts production around 1954. It's value is almost exclusively with Gonder collectors.

I have a black panther on a rock lamp made by lane & co and i just wanted to know the value of the lamp and the year it was made. The number on it says 8504. Lane & Co was either a pottery company or a jobbing or distributing agency located out of Van Nuys and/or Los Angeles, Ca from c 1950-c 1968. There is not a lot known about the company other than they unceremoniously produced or distributed a great deal of TV lamps and other ceramic pieces for nearly 2 decades. The arched back, climbing black panther TV Lamp was introduced in the late 1950's. It is fairly common and tends to command around $60-85.
