TI have a number of old pieces of jewelry. They are probably close to 100 years old. Items include pearls with rhinestone clasp, crown shaped pin with 3 pea sized jewels, two pearl chokers, etc. Where can I get these appraised fairly and accurately?

I also have 2 cricket Firely sterling silver or silver plated cigarette lighters by the Braun Co. Many gold conmbination lipstick / atomizers from circa 1950. A couple of silver plated compacts from same time period.

I have a mink stole that is 45 - 50 years old in good condition and a leopard skin jacket notin very good condition due to drying of the hide.

Two children's golden books from 1955 ( good condition) and one in fair condition from 1947
