Dating Antique Furniture
How can I find out if a book might be an original printing and worth some money. Also, antique furniture?
I've had this book for quite a while and it seems to be an original printing of a well known German text. It's not in the best condition but I noticed the copyright date is 1876 so it seems that it might be of value. I live in New York City, so I'm thinking there must be someplace I can go to get an opinion about this. I also have a couple of pieces of furniture that seem to be out of the ordinary- one is a folding wooden sitting piece and the other looks like it was originally something you might see in a church but was converted to a lamp. I also have a John Wanamaker chest of drawers and was told by the person who sold it to me that he was a well known furniture builder/designer. Any suggestions would be appreciated
Well, I'm afraid that I don't know NYC or shops there. I do know that I have several first edition books that are in really good condition - but they would only fetch about $5 each. Same for older furniture - you can't really expect to get much unless it's really rare and in mint condition. A piece of furniture converted into a lamp is worthless. As for the chest of drawers, don't believe everything people tell you (including me 
But yeah, that stuff is not worth much in my opinion.
