<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Batjac1, post: 2135364, member: 14985&quot;]Hi - I need some help figuring out what this is worth.&nbsp; &nbsp; I am retiring and cleaning out the attic, and I don&#039;t wan to make a mistake when I sell it.&nbsp; - Here&#039;s a description and some photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is an antique set of caribou antlers, mounted on a heavy oak shield.&nbsp; Judging by the construction of the shield, the look of the wood, old varnish, joinery on the back of the shield, etc, it is very old, maybe even 19th century.&nbsp; The antlers are large but not overly large. The shield is an inch and a half thick and beveled around the edges.&nbsp; The shield and the antlers together are 3 feet high and has a depth of about 25&quot; Everything has a consistent patina.&nbsp; The whole thing weighs about 18-20 lbs, and has a sturdy hook that looks old and may be hand-made.&nbsp; There is no damage to the shield or antlers.&nbsp; I see prices all over the board for lesser/much newer looking versions of these, and I don&#039;t want to make a mistake. A lot of those prices are over a thousand dollars. I have had it in storage for decades, and and have no idea of its provenance.&nbsp; I bought it in a yard sale on long Island NY in the early 1990&#039;s.&nbsp; It would be impressive in the right setting...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
