A shell or casing from an insect.

What Is This?
cant tell from the photo, but almost looks more like a chrysallis.

 

A hope chest with four legs.

Lane Hope Chest Confusion?
This is a beautiful piece. I am curious if it is in fact from 1911 but apparently they were not begun till 1912. Is there anyway this was a prototype model before the chests came out?

 

An old and rusty plow hitch clevis.

Manufacturer ID of Plow Hitch Clevis?
this looks very old and like it was very useful once.

 

An Emmett Kelly doll still in the packaging.

Value of Emmett Kelly Doll?
the age of it as well as the made in Taiwan sticker as well as the patina of collector doll leads me to believe its not worth very much.

 

A marking on the bottom of a glass.

Identifying Glass Manufacturer?
it looks like a flower. I did a search for glass + logo + flower and did not come up with anything. the thing to do is follow leads provided here or seek a glass collector

 

A small wooden nightstand.

Information About Dixie Furniture Nightstand?
We had furniture like this. It is pretty ubiquitous and if I remember, somewhat heavy and bulky. $45 is what I would ask, for utilitys purposes.

 

An old doll with no clothing.

Mystery Doll From My Childhood?
I spent some time at some point looking at these German dolls on dollreference.com but the site mostly discusses logos, not faces https://dollreference.com/german-antique-doll-makers-and-marks-a-b.html - as well I never saw a doll face like the one you post...

 

A vintage Zenith stereo.

Value of Vintage Zenith Stereo Console?
It would be great if it was put together and cleaned up some. Even then, if it has been dismantled, it may lose out value. If it works I could see someone paying $200 - $500 for it. Collectors dig the sound.

 

An old doll with blonde hair.

Identifying Dolls?
these dolls are not in great condition but they might still be worth something. Especially if antique. dollreference.com is a good site

 

A china plate with a floral pattern.

Value of Noritake China?
You could expect to get $20 from these plates at the least. They are quite nice

 

A tan stuffed bear.

What Year Was This Build-A-Bear Made?
It looks like one I saw from around 2012, so that checks out

 

A decorative porcelain doll in a fancy pink dress.

Value of My Doll?
This is not worth very much. Mass produced collector dolls from the 80s onwards are worth the packaging they are in, and thats about it.

Glassware with a spiral twisted stem.

Information About Glassware?
if this is not a complete set, I wonder if it would be worth that much

 

An old wooden desk.

Information About Old Desk?
this looks very nice and antique - I really like the dovetailing and the varnish.

 

A stuffed mouse toy.

Identifying A Plush Mouse Toy?
it looks like a beanie baby to me - maybe it is the thing the beanie babies were inspired on

 

A small dog with a tan coat.

Is This a Pure German Shepherd?
I have never seen or heard of a blonde German Shepherd - I have of course seen the Black and Tan and the all-white and the all-black, but never this colour before

 

A bug on a white wall.

Tiny Bugs on Bedroom Wall Keep Appearing?
silverfish was my first thought too in general they look almost like sea creatures - like crabs or something am curious that cleaning the carpet didnt solve the problem, but probably insecticide is needed you may try diatomaceous earth or boric acid; both are...

 

Value of Doll?

Value of Doll?
I have a whole spiel about how dolls made in factories after the 80s do not have much resale value beacuse they were mass produced and on top of that the market is glutted with them. This is about the dolls resale value in some hypothetical collectibles/commodities...

Swiffer Wet Jet Mop Head Replacement?
if what Cybergrannie says is true (and it probably is because shes the best) I would honestly try posting the pic of what you need on a facebook local buy/sell group, or look on ebay. I think the idea of these things is to be semi disposable which is why its...

 

An inflamed tongue piercing.

Is My Tongue Piercing Infected?
You probably dont want to take risks with your tongue, but if you want to first try gargling assiduously with hydrogen peroxide, or putting manuka honey on it, then you may be OK If you have any sort of fever you must go to the doctor immediately. Or radiating...

Three wooden tables.

Value of Tables?
I have sold tables like this, even without pedigree, for $200 or so. Theres a water mark on one table but that is actually pretty easy to fix with vinegar and baking soda (theres a thread on here about that somewhere)

The pattern on a Nortake platter.

Value of Noritake Meat Platter?

me being the person I am, I would try to make it a batik https://theartofeducation.edu/2016/04/05/step-step-guide-batik/ or tie-dyed I also notice its sort of a light blue-grey colour - it could also work to just dye it a darker more vibrant shade of blue though...

 

A carved wooden mask in a primitive style.

Carved Wooden Mask?

A piece of metal found in the dirt.

What Is This?
How big is it? It looks like at least as big as your shoe Is it metal? It looks like aluminum but not sure. In any event aluminum is not a good electricity conductor so if it is, its probably not an electric fence or other such thing Was it buried? How old...

Frozen Raw Cabbage?
I have done this before - actually frozen cabbage and used it in soup If you dislike the texture you can always blend it all after its cooked for a thicker soup

 

A small bug in the palm of a hand.

What Kind of Bug is This? (Carpet Beetle)
The picture is really quite unclear It is not out of the question that it is a bed bug, since that is the shape they look when they are fed/engorged with blood. If it has anything like wings, it absolutely is not a bed bug
