I think I have some antiques but I'm not sure. I have a set of black cast iron hitching post horse heads. Its just the heads not the post. Are they antique? I also have a set of Red Game cock rosters liq. Bottle collectibles. On the bottom it has Heritage China 1970 S.N-7 Ezra Brooks. Are they worth any thing?:confused:

It is really hard to determine whether something is an antique without really seeing it first hand.

Just without seeing things what you have, it sounds like you certainly have some collectible items and that they would be worth something beyond what you might expect to pay at a garage sale for them. What something is worth, really does depend on what someone is willing to pay for the item.

Have you tried taking any of these items to an antique dealer or even a museum to see what they think? There are also books available on antiques at most public libraries and also bookstores that I am sure would be helpful. Can you post any images of the objects that you have in a post on this thread?

Thanks Clough, I have attach pictures so that you can see what I have. I hope I did it right. Let me know if you can't get the pictures. Once upon a time I had these items in my yard sale and this nice lady told me I shouldn't sell them because they were Antique. I haven't taken them to an antique dealer yet. I check in books but can't find these items. I was hoping to get the information, but no luck so far.:( Can you tell me if I have something?

Thanks so much for posting the images, Lambchop615! That really helps!

We will do some searching in the resources that we have available. I don't guarantee anything, but now that you have posted some images, that will really help us in helping you!

Hi, robjazhen!

What about the old painting, please?

I don't understand what your question is. Once I know that, I'll need to move your question, because you've posted on the really old thread of someone else that's now archived.

Thanks!
