    where to find out how much one might sell them for?
    We have a few unique items including a LARGE antique chinese screen, an antique billiard table and a cool old bronze.
    I've looked up the bronze artist and there's nothing about his old stuff.
    eBay had nothing on any of these. The local antique people have no idea about stuff like this.
    Anyone, anyone??

    There is a difference between used stuff and antiques...I'm just not sure where a person draws the line. How do you determine if some thing is antique, as opposed to just some old junk.
    Put it on E bay.

    That might be who we have to go through.
    The bronze seems to have a lot of history and I can't find a single thing about it online....I think it's 1 of 5 or so from back in the day. It's about 6 feet long and a foot or 2 high.
    We had to do a whole house out here recently with his mom passing, but this stuff isn't just the junk stuff...it's the kind fo stuff they bought while traveling the world back in the 50's-60's.
    Thanks for your help guys!
