<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonS, post: 193424, member: 3569&quot;]Ok all,</p><p>This is my first thread (after my introductory post), so please bear with me if I mess up. I&#039;ll try to learn quickly how things work around here <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie25" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>I came to your forums to hopefully get advice or directed to where I can find values on some antique pieces that my mother wants to eventually sell. She does not &quot;do computers&quot;,.... and I&#039;m not really an &quot;antiques guy&quot;, ... so no doubt, I&#039;ll be stumbling all the way. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>OK, So my elderly mom asked me to find out what I could about,&nbsp; &quot;That beautiful China in the cabinet&quot;, (that she will really never use).</p><p>She wants me to...</p><p>(quote)-&nbsp; &quot;Go onto your computer, &#039;cuz I know you can find places on there that can tell you what I should ask as a reasonable price &#039;cuz I&#039;ll never really use it, and I don&#039;t want it to get broken, and I don&#039;t want to dust it, and someone might want to buy it,... and it should be with someone who will use it and be happy with it,.. and, she doesn&#039;t know how to &quot;do computers&quot;.... and,.... and,.. &quot; (unquote) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> haha. (gotta love Mom <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie79" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It was originally my Grandmothers (her mom), and was purchased in Germany in 1958... by a family member serving in the armed forces.</p><p>the set was sent from Germany, to my Grandmother, it was unpacked, put in the China Cabinet, and has never been used, (really, not even once) to the best of Mom&#039;s knowledge. (Grandmother past away a couple of years ago, at the age of 95, but had told Mom it has never been used).</p><p>I do have a couple of pieces of literature on it, the original brochure and the certificate of purchase by the family military Serviceman, but that&#039;s all I have for info on it.</p><p>It is from Haus Dresden, made in West Germany, and is &quot;Decal 56&quot; or &quot;Dekor 56&quot; with 24k gold detail.</p><p>It is in excellent, condition, (it&#039;s never been used), and has lived it&#039;s life in a closed China Cabinet since 1958.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have not pulled the entire set out of the china cabinet, but I have pulled a few pieces to take some pics, and will see if I can figure out how to post those pics below. (I&#039;m not really as &quot;good on the computer&quot; as Mom may think I am <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie45" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).</p><p>These pics do not include the Dinner Plates, Salad plates, Cups, Saucers, (and who knows whatever else is all in there).</p><p>I&#039;ll try to add more pics later as time allows.</p><p><br /></p><p>first, a few test pics, (if this works, I&#039;ll add a bunch more)</p><p><br /></p><p><a
