My father passed away and I was left with some antiques. I have no clue what any of them are or where to start. Prices, Where to sell ect. If anyone could help me identify them and give me a average price or just scrap them? Thanks in advance

First of all we need better pics....we have no magicians on here...we can,t see under shelves..or rings that are out of focus...the copper container...has value, but until we get a better pic...to ascertain its size,condition..etc....it might as well be scrap...the ring is too close, we need to see it more clearly...is it gold, does it have a hallmark..as for the tear-gas....well, its just as well your there and i,m here,....for over here,...all they,d get you would be some serious porridge...time...

Ive googled and found out what it was. I've searched Internet for hours on the other things. Just hope someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks

Are you taking the pics with your phone ?? The pics are way too large to see !! I cant get them all to come up !! Try to take them with a digital camera and making them smaller !! Outside in daylight might give less blurry pics !! We would love to help and the few I could see can be of value but have to be able to see them clearly !!

The ring looks military.

I think the lamp and shade if in good condition with no scratches or stains would bring $30. to $40. Has a bit of a deco feel and many like that !! Have you looked for a name on it ??
Can we see the underside of that bell ?? What was your fathers occupation ?? Bell looks quite different from those normally seen !!
-
do you think there's a reason for the spidery attachment at the top instead of a simple loop? utility or decoration?
-
Could be so could be rung from any side !! Like the ones Churches have that ring in a certain melodic rhythm !!

I can identify one thing for you. The box contains tear gas cartridges cartridges for a pen that discharged them, also shown in the pic. The cartridges were .38 Special caliber and the pen was a single shot. You pulled the lever back till it "set" then used the trigger button to shoot it. I had a friend who was a bartender and one night a girl walked in, opened her handbag, withdrew one of these and said she had bought it that day. Ray asked her, "How does it work?" She said, "Like this," and fired it off. He said that they had to empty the bar, call the fire department, and ventilate the bar for an hour to get all the gas out. I would guess the pen gun and cartridges would bring $50-$60 to someone as a collector item. Modern day pepper spray and Mace have made them obsolete.

...All they,d get you over here is anything up to 5 years in prison...and long may it continue....and i would have thought..showing them on an open forum...that the whole world can see...is a bit....well you know what i mean.....

Well, you better hope the UK doesn't discard all their armaments and get attacked by someone who hasn't. I don't think we will be able to pull your fat out of the fire again. LOL

You pull us out of the fire again??..I shall treat that remark..with the "Contempt" it deserves...if that,s your line of thought..then i think maybe i,m in the wrong place.... >:( >:( >:( >:(.

The ring look like it has the OLD STYLE crest of the USCG.
-
Hopefully that was a finger malfunction wullie....I took it very negative as well.
-
I think you need to have that bell looked at by someone familiar with them !! Could be brass or bronze but it may have some age to it !! Almost looks like it has been in the water a while !!

If I remember my history correctly, the British isles stood for quite awhile virtually alone against the Nazis with a collective bravery never before seen....
