Does anyone have expertise in advertising memorabilia or salesman samples? I have a small (3 1/2 "by 3 1/2") working replica of a samovar, much like the one pictured below. I can't seem to find any info on my particular salesman's sample. I have found a lot of other things but not this. I am curious what it is worth. The picture would not come through so I put in the web site, and the one I tried to put into my email is the sixth one down s~06. It is similar but not exact, and of course as I said, it is a working sample.
Thanks,

Check those play toys in your attic. This one sold at auction in Oceanside NY.
A Wagon Train playset, made around 1960 by Marx Toys and based on the popular television show of the time, sold for $15,255 – a new world auction record for a Marx playset – at a multi-estate sale held Oct. 24-26 by Philip Weiss Auctions. The playset (Series 5000, Stock No. 4888) was mint and unused in the box, the only blemish being a few tears to the accessory bags inside.

Rats, How do I post a photo on the site. I've got a full set of (as far as I can guess)Calimbas. I've tried Antiques roadshow, they gave me a few leads but none panned out. I Tried History Detectives, some luck but no Prize yet. Theres about thirteen of these sets of calimbas, made to produce sound by movement of three sets of clappers against wooden planks built into a set of four each. I gotta post the picture to give you a fair idea as Its near impossable to describe the funnels and rocking mechanism. I know they're Way Old. The closest suggestions from "the Pro's" was "Some kind of automated music maker" A Knickelodean, (Not the kids show) of perhaps a Merry-Go-Round. Now if some one could please help me load photo's an this site....Rats, cant click and drop here. I'll post it on my homepage, I know how to do that... Carl
About the word "Brooch"
Brooches or fibulae are perhaps the oldest type of jewelry. When man first took to wearing something more than a loin cloth, there emanated the necessity of holding the cloth together. The thorn was probably the first of these pins, with pins of other material, like flint, found in the caves of the Paleolithic age. Pins of bronze were in common use during the bronze age.
