My latest box. I believe that this belonged to John Scott Haldane, a Scottish physician who actually invented the first respirator. Zinc lined it also has the carriage label from its peninsula and oriental steam boat journey.

Looking for information on this very old wooden piece of art. My mom collects antiques and has had this for years. She says she knows it is worth money but can’t really find much information on it. Appears to be from a large tree as it is one slab of wood. 2.5 feet tall. Located in Pennsylvania, USA

Thoughts on this Piece of Stained Glass for 250.00 USD? It is about 3'x3'....like the size of a card table. It looks like it consists of 3 panels (you can see the hinges) but has a frame put around it. We really like it, but have no clue about stained glass. This is in Texas. TIA!
