[QUOTE="BirdyDust2, post: 12273, member: 247"]Had them valued by my local auction house Nuff. Mixed opinions really. I will say, these are NOT fake, there has been no doubt there whatsoever. The Immortal (thinking this would be the most valuable) was actually only valued at around £600/£1000. Probably 1920's. A medium quality piece. Would be an easy sell, but not the best of quality. The carving is pretty standard etc... But the 'horse/dear' was a real quality piece. Both experts were very excited about this one. A real quality piece. Carved well, and very desired. Valued very conservatively at £2000. But said that could easy go for £10,000 or more if the right buyers are attracted to it. Has age, beauty, and quality. They were so impressed with the piece, that they assured me the piece would be a main feature in their next auction if i were to sell it via the auction house. Thank you for your advice Nuff, i'm glad i had them checked out by experts. I now know what i'm dealing with. And have a good idea on value. I'll sell the Immortal on ebay i think (starting price £500). But i'll sell the other piece via the auction house. They will "promote the living hell out of the thing" so i think i'll be better off selling it through them.[/QUOTE]
