Australia. This toy has been with me since I was born 47 years ago. It would have been second hand when it was given to me as a baby, no doubt. It has an oblong shaped stitched area under one of the hooves where a label would have been I think.

History:
inherited, it was a gift to my grandmother in the early 1900's
Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png):
I am responsible for liquidating my grandmothers estate and thought I'd check to see if anyone can give me any info on these gold leaf plates (see photos) before I sell them for almost nothing. I have been told by my grandmother these plates and 2 other similar plates (with different beehive marks) are worth a great deal, but I was unable to find the plates markings anywhere on the internet, particularly, the solid, black star mark with "Silesia" underneath the star.

History:
Purchased from a local small town antiques dealer for $125. He said that he didn't know anything about it at all. He bought it from some people who live in the nearby metro area. He claimed that someone had told him that it was from a thai temple, but he could have been lying.
Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png):
I have an acquaintance from Vietnam who said that she was sure it was Thai. I think that it's a buddhist goddess, but I suppose it could just be a Thai woman. It's obviously handmade (at least the gold colored part). It's made of some kind of metal (both the black part and the gold part) and is hollow inside. She still ways about 40 pounds though. I've been unable to find any kind of artist's mark on it. It looks like it's been kept outside in the past, because there are a few small spots of corrosion. Anything that anyone could tell me would be much appreciated. I don't really know the first thing about it!

Client purchased it at an antique store in Port Townsend, Washington
Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png):
What I think is a rare antique chinese hardwood pillow in excellent shape. Beautifully hand carved from a block of hardwood.
Possibly used as a head rest supporting back of neck so special hair style would remain intact.
Client said he was told it was brought to states in either the 20's or th30's note small hole in the end, was made when it went through customs

The headboard and footboard is carved. The footboard is curved. There is a number 3 located on the headboard. I am not sure if the 3 is a patent number. If it is Biddingtons Patent chart has the number 3 listed for 1836. The bed is a little larger than a twin bed.
Thank you for any help!
