Can anyone guestimate the value of an old tea pot? It's bright red (chinese red?) and made by Hall in LA. It's in good condition - no chips. Photo coming soon.
On the bottom, there is a square stamp that says, "Hall's superior quality kitchenware" and it has a (low) number to the right of it.
Curious as to the value of it to help me decide whether to sell it or not to an antique dealer. I ran across this while going through my stuff getting ready for garage sale.
If you know something about this, I'd appreciate your opinion. If you are one of those "vanity police" people, I ask you kindly to refrain from condemning me for posting a vanity thread and "eating up the bandwidth, etc." and I will extend the same courtesy to you as well. Thanks!
Maybe a Zot and a half.

I think the Tampa Trib has an antiques guy who writes articles every week ... people send him pictures and info on their item and he tells them what he knows about it including an estimated value. I think you may have better luck with them than with the kitties.
I'll guess $60
Check your freepmail...don't think this thread will last very long.

I'll see that zot and a half and raise you one.
This thread is worthless without pictures.
Try looking on e-bay for one similar.

Go to Ebay, put in Hall China and you'll see what things are going for. Also, check your freepmail.
Free Republic and Antiques Roadshow have the same number of syllables, but the similarity ends there.
Um, I think you are confusing FreeRepublic with a Saturday morning radio swap-meet in Bug Tussle, Arkansas. It's actually more like a Zot-meet, and I think you're going to be meeting a few tonight.
