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.

The pine tree has an applied top. It is an early one.

The demijohn has a nice iron pontil. Any idea on value?

Nice one!


I'd have to say about $300 as a conservative estimate.

RE: Attic finds...

Can ya find the privies? Will they lend you access to the site during the razing? There's gonna be relics too....are they savvy enough to be recycling the doors and the wood floors?
