<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SBSVC, post: 3681437, member: 136&quot;]Doot Boi, I don&#039;t want to discourage you, but I don&#039;t believe that trying to sell these particular three items here is going to provide much financial assistance to you.</p><p><br /></p><p>The lamp, typical of 1960&#039;s-1970&#039;s toleware, will likely be too expensive to ship to make it worthwhile for you or the buyer. There are lots of vintage tole lamps available, and I don&#039;t think most of them are very popular these days.</p><p>Also, your lamp is not missing a harp, but rather a glass hurricane, along the lines of the one on the lamp shown here:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]310640[/ATTACH]</p><p>(photo above is from Pinterest, with a dead link)</p><p><br /></p><p>Having to replace the glass, then pack and ship it, too, would likely not be cost effective.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the other 2 items:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) The NWDA cordial glass or brandy snifter (depending on size) appears to be from Sheridan Silver Co, not Sheffield. It is silver plated.</p><p>My best guess is that it was a souvenir or give away for participants at a business meeting or convention of some sort held in Las Vegas in 1966.</p><p>You may or may not be able to figure out w<i>hich</i> NWDA organization presented it. (I did a preliminary search and wasn&#039;t able to narrow it down, but I don&#039;t think it&#039;s worth spending much time investigating it.)</p><p>The item is silver <i>plated </i>and made by a middle-of-the-road American company. As such, it likely holds little monetary value. (P<u>erhaps</u> a member of whatever NWDA organization is represented by the engraving would be interested in having it, but as far as I know, that&#039;s about its only real market.)</p><p><br /></p><p>2) The teapot has a nice shape to it, and someone might want it as a decor item (for a flower display, maybe?) but I doubt anyone would pay much for it. Without the lid, it is not particularly useful.</p><p>Again, this is a silver <i>plated</i> item, and with few exceptions, the vast majority of standard plated wares simply do not command high prices. I cannot read the maker&#039;s mark shown in your photo, but I am assuming this was not from a high-end manufacturer. Certain companies&#039; items <b>do</b> hold their value better than others, but I don&#039;t think that&#039;s the case with this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Doot Boi, as I said earlier, I don&#039;t want to be discouraging, but I can&#039;t see that selling the three items you&#039;ve shown here is going to be financially worthwhile.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aside from Pokemon cards, are there any other types of &quot;collectibles&quot; that interest <b>you</b>, personally? Maybe it&#039;s time to find a new category or two in which you can specialize - something you can study, learn well, and actually enjoy. That can make a big difference when you&#039;re trying to sell![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
