Daniel asks…

where can i find a simple source to determine the approx value of antique furniture and tools?

i have several pieces of old furniture, probably from 1800's, maybe some from England. also have some old tools, some hand tools and some power tools. what is a simple reference source to determine the approximate value of these type items? thanks for any help.......ray

answers:

I've seen some books at the bookstore which lists approx values. Go browse your local store.

You can also call local antique shops. Some shops use a local appraisal company/person. Get a recommendation. Or check your local "Yellow Pages". They should offer one for free.

Susan asks…

Looking for Antique Information: 2 Antique “Planes” (Tools)?

The first one is small, about 6 inches long & has “Stanley”, “No. 220” in raises type around the front knob/handle & “Made in USA” on the back end, under the knob to adjust the angle of the blade.

The second one is large, about a foot long, & has “Millers Falls” embossed on the front of the blade & “Made in USA” under the blade, on the plane itself, between the blade & the back handle.

Someone told me that the two of them would bring in a couple hundred dollars if sold at the right antique show but I can’t find any information on Antique Tools like Planes.

They were my Grandfather’s & might actually be my Great Grandfather’s tools… I got them when he passed away.

I’m not sure if I want to sell them or not but I would like any info I can find on top of “value” such as age, region, exc.

Thanks!

answers:

Good users, but not really collectible. $5-25 each
