Doesn't sound like it from your description but some of these had an area for change and/or a couple of small items. This little compartment adds value to these cases since it provides an additional use.
If your lucky the cigarette compartment has a dual size holder clip to hold both lengths of cigarettes. Even though most old holders will work with the longer cigarettes, lots of buyers are put off the the holder clip facing the wrong direction. Given the nice condition of your "purse" I would place a value of $125-145 on it. They quite popular now and serve the same purpose they use to - easy, small storage for club goers.
Thanks,
Elle

Subject: Saxophone (Brass) Funk & Junk® has historical sales for many brass saxophones, most with some pictures etched into them. They have sold for $75-$100, most with cases. They are not a used musical instrument store and I thought that even given that fact that the price is a little on the low side. I inquired with Funk & Junk's manager and he informs me that they are aware that these prices are below the "market" and that it is the norm for sales of this type. "We generally sell these to beginners or someone who just wants to fool around our use it for display so we market it as such, rather than a musical instrument per se.". If you were to find a good condition Sax in a music store it would probably run about $125+. New Saxs start at about $250+ so roughly 50% makes sense.

Subject: Typewriters in general, Royal standard specifically Some of the easiest to sell are the 50's colored typewriters. The colored versions are as appealing, if not more so, to 50's collectors and just design nuts who want a little flair in the office. They start at about $50. Earlier typewriters DO sell and some of them can add up to some serious cash (index style typewriters have a "wheel" to point to letters/numbers/symbols) ; There are quite a number of typewriters worth well over $500. Condition is critical and they must be working to garner these type of prices. Non-working typewriters are hard to sell and you would get a very small fraction of these prices for such machines. This market is by no means set in stone and prices vary widely. Thanks, Choose another question by subject Choose another question by Date Posted Shop at Funk & Junk Collectibles and Vintage Clothing
Subject: Lion King Simba mail-away doll Thank you, Possibly someone might be interested in offering a premium for it but I would value it at no more than $20 at this time (which may even be less than you paid?). I think you would be unlikely to find a buyer even at that price at this time. One of the keys to collectibility is the passage of time. It differs from item to item but I would say that to make any significant money on this mail item you need to hold on to it for a fairly significant amount of time. I believe Simba was released through the Disney stores as well (though likely another version) and this will hurt the value of your item with respect to the mail-away nature of it.

Subject: Shirley Temple cobalt blue creamer The other is a cobalt blue water pitcher with Shirley Temples pitcher on it, etched in some kind of shiny material. Its not large size either I guess more the size for a cream pitcher. My mom has had it for years and before that my grandma had it. It doesn't have a date or any markings on it so it may not be worth anything but wondering if it is. Thanks Your pitcher is indeed a cream pitcher (about 4 1/2" to 5" if memory serves) and the glass color is usually referred to as "Cobalt" blue. It has a value of $35-$45. I didn't have a chance to dig into my premium reference material but I believe that it was given away at movie theaters (part of my brain says laundry detergent though). Unfortunately, I think you left off the full description of the celluloid item you have. Feel free to resubmit it for consideration later.

Subject: Barbie AND Ken character watch The watch case and band are in fair condition, there are some minor scratches on the crystal. The movement is not currently functional (requires a hairspring for the balance wheel and a replacement screw), but is in very good condition otherwise (no corrosion). The face of the watch is marked "copyright '64 Mattel", "Swiss Made", "Barbie" and "Ken". The works are inscribed "Bradley Time Division", "One Jewel", and "Unadjusted", while the back of the case is marked with "#419", "Case Brass", and "Swiss Made". Barbie front and side view watches from the same time/maker sell for $135-175 (without boxes). Even the reproductions of this Barbie watch sell for almost $100. Your watch would likely have a value considerably higher as I feel it's a scarce version and I would have placed a value of about $165-210+ on it. Unfortunately, your watch is no longer working and the value now would probably be about 50% or less of the working value. It's tough to even find a jeweler willing to work on character watches but it would pay for you to do a little hunting. Many dealers simply shy away because it's old and unusual and their worried about you getting pissed if they screw it up (though they probably routinely work on watches worth thousands!) and others simply do not have the resources to get the parts necessary to fix the older brands. Again unfortunately, I believe (if memory serves) Bradley is one of the harder brands to get parts for and you might need a jeweler who has a parts box. I've been lucky a couple of times when I used to deal a lot in character watches but both jewelers I hooked up with are either dead or retired (or both!!). If your really lucky you may find a super skilled jeweler who can make the parts for you as one of my old jewelers did for me once. Putting another movement inside is another option that I wouldn't have too much trouble with so long as it was mentioned should you decide to sell. The value would also be diminished just as most Collectibles values when work is done to them. Even with a new movement, however, I'm certain that a Barbie collector would love to have it.

Subject: Should you buy anything less than "Mint" or "Near Mint"? There are a few hard to find items in both categories that I have been searching for for a long time. I would, of course, prefer Mint examples but I recently found a scarce toy with a few condition defects at a relatively good price. Ok, here's the question: What's your opinion on buying less than Mint of Near Mint toys keeping in mind that I buy for enjoyment plus future value potential? Thanks for the time Most serious collectors/dealers say buy only the best example of an item and pass on the lesser items to maximize your investment potential. Their reasoning is simple - the best examples will always shine above the lesser items and maintain/increase in value. Of course I certainly agree that you should strive for the best examples, if you can afford it. I think that this is another one of those long running questions that deserves some softening as the Collectibles market continues to boom in many areas (particularly the two you mentioned!). I'm a firm believer in "place holder" items when the Collectible is particularly scarce or rare. A place holder item is one that is found possibly in lesser condition and even with a minor repair that is found for a fraction of the price of the Mint example. If and when the better example is found then the place holder is replaced. I have purchased many place holder items and the vast majority I have either kept as a back-up or sold (usually realizing at least what I paid and often at a profit). As the competition increases in the Collectibles market and we start to see the removal/replacement of many "Antiques" signs for the new "Antiques and Collectibles" or simply "Collectibles" signs, many of the harder to find items are quickly going to be out of the price range of the common collector/dealer. You may start finding that the somewhat lesser place holder items may start to look pretty damn good! Let's face it, most of us collectors rely on display value of our collection so as long as your item has nice display potential I say go ahead and grab it. Nothing worse than passing on a , lets say "very good" or "good" condition item only to never see it again (come on, we all have one of these stories!). The fact that you buy with present enjoyment in mind only seems to lead me more in the direction of advising that you buy what you like at a price you can afford. If that happens to be a Mint or Near Mint item then all the better. Just don't buy anything that's really trashed unless you need parts, etc.. Other than those really poor examples, think we will all be surprised at the value of many non-Mint collectible items in the near future. Thanks for the good question, Choose another question by subject Choose another question by Date Posted Shop at Funk & Junk Collectibles and Vintage Clothing
Subject: McDonald's Drive-in embroidered Baseball jacket Thanks for your response! Having said all that, I'm going to take a stab at this one based on my experience with similar jackets with advertising from the same time period. You didn't mention the size but my assumption is that it is an adult jacket. If it is a child's jacket the value will be significantly less. Your jacket has a lot of appeal for many reasons. Embroidered jackets always command good money from that time period and it's somewhat of a lost art rarely well done on anything contemporary. Secondly the fact that it indicates "Drive-in" is, I think, another attractive feature since they don't exist anymore and lots of collectors are fixated on the Drive-in restaurants and Movies of the past. And last, but definitely not least, is the McDonald's name which is well known and highly collected. Souvenir jackets (Japan) from this time period typically sell, depending on condition and embroidery work, for $300-$500. The value you get for your jacket may well depend on where you sell it. If your description is accurate (real satin?), it sounds like a very well made jacket. As a nice piece of vintage clothing, I would value it at $185-$275. However, marketed at a McDonald's convention or auction you may be able to realize significantly more and it will likely be a quicker sale. Ok McDonald's experts I'm ready to be beat down on this one so I would love to hear your comments on this evaluation as it relates to McDonald's collecting. Make sure you indicate your experience/expertise. I'm always anxious to hear from any experts out there so feel free to send responsible comments or your own article whenever you feel the urge. Thanks Jerry, I always like sticking my neck out there! Choose another question by subject Choose another question by Date Posted Shop at Funk & Junk Collectibles and Vintage Clothing
Subject: Tab diet cola glass I've included a picture of the glass I mentioned, and hopefully yours, from my collection: The glass was made in the early 70's. Not a significant item but kind of cool and something that has room for increase based on the still blooming popularity of 60/70's Collectibles and Memorabilia. I would value the glass at $8-12. Sorry if I got the wrong item but I did my best. Thanks Choose another question by subject Choose another question by Date Posted Shop at Funk & Junk Collectibles and Vintage Clothing
Subject: Charlie Weaver, Bartender Battery Operated toy It is a old, battery operated....doll? Not sure what to call it, so I'll try my best to describe for you. It's called, "Charley Weaver Bartender" It stands approximately 12" high and is a moving, animetronic puppet-like toy which features Charley Weaver standing behind a small tin table, meant to represent a bar, with barstools and the phrase, "Elsie Krack was here" painted on the front. When turned on, Charley shakes a Martini tumbler for a few seconds, then pours his finished brew into his waiting martini glass which he holds in his left hand. After this, he raises the glass to his mouth and drinks. This then causes him to pucker several times, while at the same time, his face turns bright red and smoke comes out his ears. After close examination, I am unable to find any names of manufacturer or dates, or any other identifying marks. All I can say for sure is, I'm 36 yrs old, and can remember playing with this very same toy when I was very young. Making it at least 30+ yrs old. Ever heard of or seen anything like this? Any thoughts on value? Thanks in advance, Charlie was manufactured by T-N Co. Sounds like it was a Birthday present since it was manufactured in 1962! Charlie Weaver was well known for various T.V. appearances, most notably on Hee-Haw in his later years. Your toy sounds like it's in really great condition. Make sure you turn it on from time to time as the oil in some of the older battery operated toys tends to thicken, making the toy non-working. Charlie is quite common and, possibly, the most commonly found battery operated figural toy. Still, I am starting to see less and less of them in operating condition. Given that yours is at least in excellent condition I would place a value at $65-85. If you can find the original box it will significantly increase the value.

Subject: Howdy Doody Welch's scenic character glass Thank you, Even thought their grape juice is mentioned, I believe the glasses originally contained their Jelly with a metal lid (though they could have also been given away with purchases of juice). Welches is still releasing Jelly glasses today and they are a glass collection unto themselves with many series over the years including the Flintstones, Archies and, more recently, The Wubbulouse World of Dr. Suess. The indian girl was named Princess SummerFall-WinterSpring. Your glass is from the first series of 6 released with the real difference between this set and the second 6 is the text banner at the top which was in the form of a musical score with musical notes as appossed to your version with a wave top and bottom banner. Some dealers place a small premium on these original 6, I do not. Your glass usually sells for about $30.

Subject: How to sell a relatives Estate Where does one find a market for this sort of thing? Thank you for your attention. If your not in a rural area the question certainly begs - where the He** did he keep it all!!? Even if you can't find a specialized auction house there are, hopefully, other auction houses in your area that handle Estates AT the Estate itself and not exclusively in their auction houses. If it's possible, visit the Auction during one of their in-house or local Auctions so you can get an idea of the Auctioneers expertise (or lack thereof) and his/her following. Some Auctions do not attract the quality of buyer you may want for certain Antiques and Collectibles and there are still many Auctions that sell a mix that includes many new items, warehouse lots of food, etc. so visiting them will flush this out as well. Plus, it's just a lot of fun! Whether you go in person or call, make sure you ask about all the fees involved which will include, but not necessarily be limited to, a percentage of the sales price. The sales fee is generally will start at 25% of the sales prices (fee will go up as dollar value of item goes down) but this will vary in different areas. I wouldn't hesitate to negotiate fees if your Estate holdings are large and quality is high. Your other options include hiring an Estate sale service but I would definitely ask as to their expertise with the types of items you have mentioned as it is quite specialized. You can find Estate sellers both in the Yellow Pages and local newpapers within their ads for other sales. The same advice applies for attending one of their sales. Finally, you can do a little research on prices realized for these items and hold a sale yourself. Pick up a couple of Antique newspapers (Antiqueweek, for example) and see if you can find a similar auction in another state that has a mail-away catalogue with follow-up prices realized. There is usually at least one Cowboy theme auctions in each issue. Remember to take any prices realized with a grain of salt since it will generally attract the top buyers at a better auction and your sale is not as likely to attract as many experts unless you really promote it. Price guides exsist for these items but you can probably only locate them at a very high quality book store chain. If you do it yourself, invest in some good advertising in at least a couple of Newspapers including the largest one in your area. This is not for the faint of heart so you need to be prepared. You will need people to help you; take cash, guard against theft, price and set-up/take-down. Thanks and good luck!

Subject: Playboy 1958 calendar Thank you for your help. A 1958 Playboy calendar in excellent to Near Mint shape can sell from $75-$100.

Subject: Burger King character glasses There were actually two sets of glasses released featuring the King. You have the smaller, rounded bottom set from 1979 which included: The tougher set to get is the 1978 (thicker, Brockway glass) featuring the King on all of them with different foods: Both sets of glasses are fairly uncommon but, unfortunately, not as highly sought after as either some other character glasses nor other fast food collectibles out there. I think, given some time, that your glasses may increase as advertising character stuff continues to climb in value. This kind of change always has the effect of even making the lowliest item in a category have some appeal and, therefore, value. Right now the 1979 glasses are worth about $60 as a set of 5 (complete set). The 1978 set is worth about $100 for the set of 4 (complete set). Having either set of glasses as a set would definitely help to sell to a serious collector, particularly the earlier set.

Subject: Davy Crockett hats What do you think their value, as a collectable is? Most prices for fairly common Davy stuff , like your hats, have stayed fairly low for many years and I don't see as much of a call for D.C. items as I used to. I believe that your hats were non-Disney licensed items put out in the mid-50's along with tons of other licensed and non-licensed items during the Davy boom with, literally, hundreds and hundreds of items released. Disney put out a least 2 versions of a Davy Crockett costume that included a coonskin cap though it was a plain cap with no decorations. I believe your hats were sold loose, without boxes. Still, you can probably find a buyer and your hats would bring $30-$40. Gotta keep one for yourself!

Subject: Chrome & Marble floor ashtray / smoke set These items have had yet another resurgence in popularity as smoking collectibles have become very hot. Gotta guess her based on others, but I believe that your lighter is a mesh front cigar lighter which makes it even more popular as many passers by are jumping on the Cigar bandwagon and the Cigar collectible market, too, has had growth. Also, it likely has an Art Deco look, based on many others I have seen and had, opening yet another market. Provided everything is working and there is no serious metal pitting, dents in ashtrays, chips on Marble accents etc. you could expect to pay from $125 to as much as $225 for similar ashtray/stands at a Collectibles or Antique shop. The range would be based on condition, color of the Marble (usually a swirl of 2 or more colors) and design. Can't be any more specific than that without a photo and there are examples that fall outside both ends of the range both for the most simplistic and the high Art Deco style.

Subject: Marx Roman Soldier figure Could you tell me something about what it is worth? Thanks The most desirable figures are the T.V. show related and Disney figures. As an example, the Marx Man from U.N.C.L.E main character figures of Illya Kuryakin, Napoleon Solo (there were also bad guys) fetch $32-$45 for each figure. Disney figures too carry a premium with prices ranging from $22 to $30 depending on the character. Off the top of my head there were also series for the Space program, Neanderthal men, Western figures and Indians though I'm sure there were a few more. Provided that your figure is in good shape it has a value of about $20. Pretty nice value given that these figures had an original cost under $1.50!

Question:My sister has a Royal typewriter that probably dates from the '50s. It is one of those heavy black steel contraptions that's definitely not portable. Is there a market for old office equipment?
Timo
Answer:Hi Timo!,
There is indeed a market for older office equipment, with typewriters being on of the more sought after pieces. However, yours is probably not old enough to garner serious cash given that the standard Royal black is actually fairly common. A hardcore grassroots writer probably wouldn't mind having it for his/her latest work and would likely give it the once over at your next yard sale.

It is in perfect condition showing little sign of wear and has been hanging in a protected garment bag.

Answer:Hey Jerry,
I'm really risking a deluge of Emails from serious McDonald's collectors as McDonald's collecting is somewhat a world unto itself with many clubs and their own pricing schemes. Lots of their items do crossover to other areas of collecting such as Barbie, Cartoons & T.V. shows, advertising and, in this case, vintage clothing.

Having a well known Playmate in the calendar does make a difference in value. However, older versions such as yours also help to keep the value high as so many were used (no nasty comments here please!!) and/or discarded.
