Nice items and I think worth trying to get them to Clars. Otherwise, I wonder if there is an appropriate venue in Carson City. Certainly, a lot...
Typical 19th century canning jar...... missing the lid.
Pyrography craft project plant stand.
As AJ suggested, this chair and variations of it have been made for ages. I would expect the oldest examples to be caned, though newer ones can...
Looks like a better than average violin, and this could be one case where the label is legitimate. You really need to have it inspected in-hand...
Sometimes you can re-visit former houses by searching the address on Zillow. If it has been sold in the recent past, listing photos will show up....

This doesn't look like any Morton pottery I am familiar with. Maybe it is documented but would like to see more than the links provided. It is...
Thanks for the liveauctioneer links! Not sure why I could not find them.
LOL..... Searching the mark on the metal, it brings me back to here! Does anybody recognize the marks on this salt shaker? | Antiques Board...
