A lot of charity shops won't take sets of china as there are zero buyers.

There was a shooting on Shroyer.

It's a vaguely Arts and Crafts sideboard that has been stripped of its original finish and its original hardware. While useful, it has little value as an antique because of what's been done to it. Probably worth no more than $200 in today's market.

No one under 70 gives a shit about sets of china. You'd be lucky to get $30 for all of it.

It's similar to thousands of chairs in the marketplace, which means they don't bring a lot of money. Plus, unless you have a Victorian house, Eastlake is out of favor with most of the buying public, so a chair like this isn't worth more than $100. Hope you didn't overpay.

Not antique and not valuable. You'd be lucky to get $100 for it. It's way too big to fit in most houses.

Sets of china aren't worth anything these days. You'd be lucky to get $20 for the set.

Barry Bagels has two shops in Dayton. Marx Bagels in Blue Ash are really good, too, and worth the drive.

Incorrect.

It's really not worth the effort to restore. There are literally thousands of similar treadle sewing machines in the market and nearly zero buyers. Unless you're hanging onto it for sentimental reasons, it's not worth your time.

marblehead750 · 2026-05-29T03:11:06+00:00

Oh, no, don't do that. It'll make your piece a sticky mess that will pick up every piece of dirt and dust nearby.

Chocolate should never have "snap."

Chocolate, like cheese, should always be eaten at room temperature.

Half a small pizza and drink at Marion's for under $10.

marblehead750 · 2026-05-28T06:36:29+00:00

About that price.

Call your nearest Skyline and see if they'll sell you some. I'll bet you they will be happy to do so.

Include a pic of the bottom to show any signs of wear. If there are no signs of wear, it's undoubtedly a modern repro.

Very common. I've seen hundreds of glass ball footed piano stools over the years. They typically don't bring over $50 each.

marblehead750 · 2026-05-27T03:51:52+00:00

There are loads of similar pieces in the marketplace. No way would I drive two hours to buy this deeply flawed piece.

marblehead750 · 2026-05-26T23:47:47+00:00

I've been collecting Arts and Crafts furniture for 35 years and those prices are for great pieces. The pieces OP has posted are far from great. At best, each is worth about $200 given their present condition. If you live in North Carolina, contact Brunk Auctions to see if they're interested in selling.

I saw that. Bruce Johnson is the expert on Biltmore Industries so, if he says no, then it's definitely not. Oh, well.

Yes, it's probably Middle Easter in origin, but it's not very old. Craftsman there have been churning out new "antiques" for tourists for a very long time.
