Need help on some attic finds... - 8/31/2010 5:52:12 PM    nhpicker   Posts: 223 Joined: 2/25/2010 Status: offline I had the chance to pick through an 1850s homestead scheduled for demolition and made these finds. There was more there, but these were the best. I was wondering if anyone could help me out as far as value on these. I found the iron pontiled demi in the basement and the other two in the attic. Thanks for any help. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

RE: Need help on some attic finds... - 9/2/2010 6:40:14 PM    nhpicker   Posts: 223 Joined: 2/25/2010 Status: offline I figured the pine tree was worth around $200. I am curious about the iron pontiled demijohn. Anyone know what they get? I have seen them frequently in open pontiled, but not so many in iron pontiled. I think it may be a Coventry, CT or a Keene, NH example. ANY TAKERS???? (in reply to nhpicker) Post #: 17
