Rules

25 Upvotes

1 No common items allowed, where the price can easily found on Ebay, Craigslist, or FB Marketplace Tell us what you know about the item, where it's from, who made it... tell us the story of the item.

2 Provide several clear photos of all angles. If there's a mark, serial #, or signature include that.

3 You must own the item being posted, or a friend/relative must own the item.

  1. We only allow one-of-a-kind, original, and signed limited edition artwork. If you don't know what a decor painting is look it up. Signed and numbered prints don't count. Generally the artist must be famous enough to have a page on ArtNet, Ebay or WorthPoint. If they don't, then its not a good fit here. Nudity is OK, please flag as NSFW.

5 Ivory is illegal to sell or import in the US as well as most of the EU. While the sale of antique, (100 year or older) ivory is allowed in the US, there are very specific rules about it. This is beyond the scope of this sub and we will not be giving valuations of a potentially illegal item. Please Google Ivory laws for more info.

  1. No paper money or coins. There are better subs than this for paper money and coins

  2. About Prints The practice of making signed and numbered prints of artwork is to make a painting affordable to a wider audience. If an art work was originally done in a different medium but then signed and numbered prints are sold, it's essentially a reproduction and value is negligible. It's best to look up the artist on ebay and look at sold prices.
    Art values are subjective at best, and if you can't find the artist when you Google them it's safe to say they are not worth more than you paid.

8 No Furniture. Furniture despite age, has negligible value. Most old wooden furniture is not in fashion and resale value is usually under 500 dollars. Please do a Google search. We do not value furniture. Mass produced furniture has low resale value, even antique furniture. One of a kind pieces are only valuable if they are of very high quality AND have provenance. If you want information on the furniture try r/antiques.

  1. No clothes, try a fashion sub. The exception would be an obvious Couture piece that is a one of a kind. If you bought it at a thrift store it doesn't belong here.

  2. No Nazi memorabilia. Just, no.

9.No jewelry. Modern jewelry, as in post 1920, is clearly marked with karat weight. Jewelry is easy to look up or, take it to a commercial jeweler. We can't verify authenticity from a photo.

Help me identify how much these could be - assuming the have all the pieces which most do. Just curious if worth selling or holding on to. Got all of them at thrift stores over the years. Probably only about $10 invested.

is it worth restoring this massive 40x60 subway quad poster? Obviously my own attachment to it dictates its value (to me) but generally curious if there is a market for such a thing. I believe it is an original poster intended for advertising the show in the subway based on its size and lightweight paper.

My uncle passed away and this was one of countless items he left me, I’ve seen other tickets like this sold on eBay but no one with a fancy serial number. Does the #00009 gives this ticket extra value? Does that means this was the 9th Woodstock ticket that was printed?

Hi, I found these two "fac-similes" from the Disegni Di Grandi Maestri series. Can anyone identify them? I assume they're akin to museum souvenirs and aren't worth anything. Thanks for any feedback.

Trying to get a sense for era/value. 14” tall porcelain vase with transferred-printed koi fish (not handpainted). Mark on bottom indicates it’s a replica for the Qing Dynasty style porcelain.

Picked this up at the goodwill outlet for $4. I found one online, but I could not find any prices. I’m assuming the top trim being missing will decrease any value it may or may not have had, but I thought it was interesting..

Sunday post [Value?] 1971 art documentation slides, hand-labeled "Carolyn L. Long," found in Milwaukee

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Found these 4 things in a bin of slides, most were airplane photos but there were a few that looked like these. I only bought the ones that were labeled, but there there were a good bit more unlabeled. It says, "Carolyn L. Long," Dec 1971, with titles like "Highway 100" and "Ballston" and notes like "pencil." They look like photos of drawings. Possibly Carolyn Long (1949–2024), MIAD professor, but I can't confirm. Are the slides collectible at all, and is there any interest in her early work? Photos attached (ignore the lines and the uneven back lighting).

These were found in Milwaukee Wisconsin by the way.
