Title: Questions: What is it? What Year? How much?
Post by: Tinnybit on February 11, 2013, 09:21:56 AM: We have recently moved into a new house that had a LOT of antiques. I am having trouble getting consistent information on the items. I have included pictures of a few items below. Can you please help me with the following questions: What is it? What year is it? How much is it worth? Also, do you want it? Thanks ahead of time to anyone & everyone who replies!

Post by: Tinnybit on February 11, 2013, 09:50:46 AM: FINAL set (for today at least). This makes up about 20% - 25% of the antiques I would like to get info on; however, I didn't want my first post to clutter up the forum with a bunch of pictures. Thanks for any & all help. (Tiffany Lamps/Tiffany Style Lamps: there is a two lamp set of the smaller lamp, and just a single of the larger).

Post by: ghopper1924 on February 11, 2013, 10:16:06 AM: The organ is ca. 1890. Sellers ask anywhere from $75 to $1k. Not a single one has sold on e-bay recently. Most are in the $2-300 price range, and those aren't selling either.

The "Tiffany" lamps are reproductions, probably worth $50 - $250.

The breakfront or buffet looks like a mid 20th century piece given the retro Art Nouveau treatment. Assuming, however, that it is "real, " we'll need more photos.

So that 's a few of them.

What you have here is a beautiful parlor reed organ (pump). Look inside the organ and/or upper left side of organ - see if you can find a serial number, name, date/year. It was generally written on a tag or stamped on a metal plate. This article is probably the best I have found to help you on this venture with the organ.
This site is a well done one that can help you out with your organ. PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT YOU FIND!!!
This guy Ron even puts his phone # to help people out. Good site full of lots of information links!!
