[QUOTE="donna723, post: 316138, member: 1883"] Janet, when I get curious about what something is worth, I look on eBay to see if I can find something similar and check what things like it are going for. It's a pretty good indicator. You are so lucky to have all those things! We moved from St. Louis to Florida when I was about 12 and my mother gave away darn near every single old family thing we had! Years later I would KILL to have that antique dining room set and some of those dishes! It all went to her goofy, greedy cousins! She even gave away the handmade embroidered long christening gown that my grandfather wore as an infant in 1890 - and he wasn't the first one who wore it! I would loved to have had that for my own kids ... and [I]their[/I] kids! We even had the ancient rocking horse that my grandfather played with as a kid, and it was a hand-me-down then! It was the size of a real pony, carved like a merry-go-round horse, with a real horsehair mane and tail and a real leather attached saddle ... all gone now! [/QUOTE]
