    This category is all about people helping other people. I have a Hand Carved Japanese Ivory Chess Set (above and listed to the right) which my father bought while we were in Japan. Although there is minimal damage to the case which is repairable I have no earthly idea what the value of such would be.
    If I knew the approximate value I might offer it up for sale or trade for services that I or my family might need.
   Give as much detailed information that you possibly can, and if there are any markings (signatures, stamp, etc) be sure to include them as well. The marking on the piece are invaluable to the person who might be knowledgeable in the field of collectibles and antiques.
    Be sure to include your Asking Price, and your Contact Information for the listing.

We came by this piece while going through an older home which was to be demolished. The owner gave us permission to go through the home and take anything which the family left and did not want or take.
