You should ask an antique seller or antique expert to determine the value of body jewelry.
The authenticity of an antique is the reason the item has value. Antiques have the price that they do because they are old. If an item is simply a reproduction, its value will be less than that of the real antique.
The item is an antique of great value.
i have one and they seem to go between 5-30 dollars on ebay
If you still have this machine for sale, I would be interested to purchase it. Price depends on the quality of the back board and if the machine is in working order or not. Between 350 - 500 USD.
This is not a fully automatic "machine gun". This is an antique double barrel shotgun. They have little collector value. Because of their age they should be shot, if at all, with special ammo appropriate to the metallurgy of the era. Value in excellent condition is about $400.
It depends on the quality of the antique. If it is of high quality and in demand, refinishing it might diminish it's value. I would check with your local antique shop.
The value of any "Antique" is always a very subjective opinion. research what a similar item has sold for and you will have your answer.
When a classic car becomes a antique, it's value increases due to the popularity.
Antique items fluctuate in popularity each year. From time to time, antique tinware has significant value for the popular pattern of the time. Tinware seems to always have at least a small value for pieces in good condition.
It may be a collectible but it is not an antique.
