re: Tigerdroppings Antique Roadshow - show us what you got, we'll give you an appraisal.

Here's something for you to try to chase down that I've never had any luck with over the years. It is a pair of Black Americana watercolor portraits. They're pencil scetched and then painted with watercolors. They're on quality watercolor paper, but were cheaply framed with cardboard backing. We bought them from a good friend of ours, an elderly black lady in our neighborhood who was in her late 80s at the time. She said she had them for "years and years" was all she said about them. She passed a year or so later without telling us much else about them. The artist's mark on both is a W over an H. The only mark on the back is an X in pencil. They aren't prints, I can tell that much.

There is some discoloration from the poor mounting/framing. Otherwise, they're in good shape.





ETA: They're both 6" x 8"

I have 4 of these old Lone Ranger books from 1940. The “wartime conditions stamp I thought was cool.

That is rarer than hen’s teeth!!! I’ve never seen one. Easily $150-$200

$300-400, depends on condition.

How bout this sculture from the late baw period:

These candleholders are probably 75 years old. Have you seen these in your outings?

Can’t appraise without picture, but candleholders are not too valuable for the most part unless the are sterling silver

Edit:
I see them now. I would say not to valuable. Old ornate stuff have taken a dive in the last 15 years. Those are called sconces.

Looks like I figured it out!

I don’t have a picture of the entire collection, but what about a program for every Sugar Bowl ever?
