one of the places to possibly answer all of your questions would be askart.com you have to register with them plus they charge for membership at differnt levels,if you choose to do so,i choose to keep searching on the web and other places until i found what i was looking for and all it cost me was my time,as far as value goes there are a lot of apprasiers online that could help you,and some offer free apprasials,but they like to see the piece in question up close and personel,so check out your local apprasiers lets keep as much of our stuff here as much as possible.
