People are giving you prices for what 100 single pound stones is worth, but I would like to point out that a single 100 pound stone is worth much more than 100 smaller 1 pound stones because you could carve out a statue or something with one large stone and have it be in a single piece. A price range is hard to give, even if you look at a supplier of rough jade boulders they give ranges like $10-100/kg and you must contact them directly and request a price for your order. It is definitely worth picking up, just grab a friend, tie some straps around it, and haul it out of there.

Yours is nicely framed, but its still just a souvenir from a museum gift shop. Maybe worth $100 or under.
My family has this boxed set and it came with a facsimile of the first edition. Might be one avenue to check?
Here is a similar one without the display box/case, those usually go for $20.
A different print but similar size/design, slightly better quality.
Assuming, as MxMj says, that these weigh 39.94 grams, that'd put the raw gold value at just about $2253, if they are 24 karat gold.
The eBay source I see says they weigh .235 Troy ounces, which is about 7.31 grams. At 24 karat gold, that'd be about $395 apiece. This seems to back that weight up.
Now, that's just the raw gold value, ignoring the collectible factor. I don't do much in coins, but I can say that, roughly, if the above is correct:
If your coins weigh 39.94 grams, you could expect to get about $2000 from a pawn shop or jeweler.
If they weigh 7.31 grams, you could expect to get about $355 apiece.
My advice: Hold on to them for a bit, gold has been going up dramatically in the last couple months; I wouldn't be surprised to see it top out over $2000 an ounce by the end of September.
The average person selling jewelery won't realize a drastic change in what they get paid per gram, because 14k is only 58% pure and most of the time they are selling a relatively small amount of it; an increase of $100 per ounce is only about $5.90 on 3.5 grams of gold (the average weight of a ring).
However, if you've got an ounce of pure gold, $100 increase in 1 month pays out about $95 and is like being paid to sit around and do nothing. :P
this coin's condition seems way too good to be 2300 years old. could it possibly be a reproduction?
From what I can tell from a quick ebay search they are going for between 100-250. Although there was also one on there for $10, but the date at the bottom looks different from the other two. Mind posting a picture with the script at the bottom?
If real, I would say hold on to it until the 20 year anniversary of 9/11 and you may be able to fetch more.
When I was in graduate school in geology, my roommates (also geology grad students) had never heard of fulgurites. They thought I was making it up.
Unfortunately, even natural ones aren't terribly valuable. I've also seen hemisynthetic fulgurites, made by inducing lightning strikes by launching rockets that trail thin copper wires that in turn are grounded through a bucket of sand. Again, oddities that aren't particularly valuable. Particularly large and showy specimens may be offered for sale at exorbitant prices, but whether they sell like that is the question.
Stick a couple of pieces up on ebay. If you want to keep them, have some godawful reserve price, and just gauge the value that way when nobody wins them, even if someone bids. Or email some meteorite/fulgurite vendors (the two seem to go together), and see if there's any interest. Good luck!
Found this on Google Books. Apparently Benny helped the Ft. Worth Symphony with a "Benny-fit" to help pay the musicians.
Ft. Worth Symphony is still going strong. You might call & offer to sell it to them for use in a future fundraiser. It would make a super "silent auction" item. I can see them offering a special patron the chance to donate it. You should have it appraised if possible.
It doesn't look like too much, you have the second edition, fifth impression copy of a paperback. It doesn't look like it's in the best condition, with the wear and creasing on the cover and the spine.
AbeBooks has similar editions for $1-$10.
When he said “you wouldn’t believe me” reminded me of a great book that changed my outlook on life “Nothing in This Book Is True, But It's Exactly How Things Are” by Bob Frissell. Here is an amazon link: it will tell you all the secrets https://www.amazon.com/Nothing-This-Exactly-Things-Anniversary/dp/1556438311/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2JHG0BDXT4WLO&keywords=nothing+in+this+book+is+true+but+it%27s+exactly+how+things+are&qid=1556244776&s=gateway&sprefix=Nothing+in+this%2Ca...
Who is the publisher (generally listed on the binding) of each book?
edit: Never mind, found the Crusoe book without much trouble. An identical copy is selling on eBay at a Buy it now price of $15.
edit2: Found the "Tonty" book on Amazon. The second one listed is a third printing from 1925 with a binding description that matches your photo, but has its dust jacket, which adds to the value immensely. It's going for $29.50. Because yours does not have a DJ, it's probably worth half that.
Completed auctions are more useful. This one looks to be very similar and in similar condition. It sold for $1050.
Not sure if this ebay link will actually work, but it appears that in the last couple of weeks 2 have sold for 50-150. Three more are currently up for auction in the 100-287 range.
It looks like there is a reprint available. Searching the complete title from that page brings up more info; none of which relate to sales or worth that I could find.
I checked sold listings on ebay, if both books are first prints then Order is worth around $25 and Half-Blood Prince can be anywhere from $20 to $70.
A first edition can have many print runs though and usually the print run info isn't explicitly printed anywhere in the book. There are places online that can tell you the differences between the runs.
This video can might help more than I can http://www.abebooks.com/docs/harry-potter/hp-holy-grail.shtml
Not the price of a Stradivarius, but nonetheless an impressive price: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VERY-NICE-SZEGEDI-HANGSZERGYAR-VINTAGE-VIOLIN-DATED-64-/130556150127#ht_6521wt_952
I'm sure a professional would be able to give you a more accurate price however.
I found one listing for a book dated 1796 (there are dozens, if not hundreds, with much older dates) and it's priced at $370.
However, I question whether you actually have a book bound in 1796. That binding looks much more modern, at least a hundred years more recent. Before you get too excited, take it by an antiquarian book shop and they should be able to confirm/deny the true date on that book based on materials and style.
There aren't too many examples for sale that have all of the same points as yours (true first, although I didn't see a printing line in the photos, signed, reasonable condition).
I see one that is close, and it's got a good price.
This one is tough to judge, as this series is super hot right now. In a few years time, the value may go down when the HBO series is over and out of everyone's minds. Right now is probably the best time to sell it, and I bet if you got the right people bidding on it, you could easily see the price the seller above is asking.
As far as the signature goes, he signed quite a lot of books, I have no reason to believe that this isn't real.
X-men is a series that has been re-started many times. Unfortunately this #2 is not the first "#2". If the #1 is from the same series then that goes for that issue as well. Several have "buy it now" prices on ebay for $2.50 (which means it may actually be selling for less). The signature might add a buck or two, but probably not much more.
Can't tell you if the #1 is worth any more without an actual title.
EDIT: Also, it seems it's from 1991. If you want to check the year on a comic, check the tiny text on the title page, which may be a page or two after the first page.
http://www.abebooks.com/book-search/title/schouwtoneel-der-natuur/
Looks like $100-$250 per volume. Complete sets often run much higher though. I'd email abebooks and ask if they have ever sold a complete set. Also check past rare manuscripts/books auctions maybe by Soethby's or Christies. I'm thinking you have a rare treasure there!
Very nice set!
Nice bears, they look like they've been very well loved! Couple of thoughts here. Firstly these do look to be Stieff to me, but I will say the time-frame of a great/great/great grandmother doesn't really match in that the very old Stieff's were made of burlap (and filled with straw if memory serves).
That said here's a resource to help confirm the identity and age these: http://hubpages.com/games-hobbies/How-to-Identify-Steiff-Bears
Lastly, the #1 thing I look for as a collector is condition, and these do have some condition issues (tear on the pad, missing buttons, losing fur etc.) meaning please be understanding of that when you price them if you do decide to sell them.
This is identical to yours on abebooks.
Here's a pretty similar one on Abebooks going for $91.00 USD.
The pages look nice and bright, and the binding isn't in awful shape either, a pretty nice speciman overall. The one on Abebooks is a little worse off, so I'd say that yours is worth between $100 and $125 USD.
As always, the value of a book doesn't always match what you can sell it for. If this book was in my shop, that's the price I'd put on it. If someone walked in two or three months later and offered me $50 or $75, I may take it. Just something else to think about.
Abebooks has a few available from around that year.
In that condition, I would price it here in the shop at $15-25 USD
Well then, congrats! Like the site says, prices are really up and down on these, especially all the titles after #3. To give you an idea of the entire set, here's an example.
The most important (and potentially valueable) one is the Sorcerer's Stone.
Take a look at your copy - there are a few things to check to see if it's a first edition, first printing, first state. (we actually have one in stock, so I'm checking it for reference)
*What's the price on the inside front flap of the jacket?
*Is there a blurb from The Guardian on the rear of the jacket, or is it just New York Times / USA Today / Boston Globe?
*On the rear of the jacket, above the right barcode, is there a number "51695?"
*Is there a "Year One" on the spine of the jacket?
That's all of the markers, I believe. The rest of the series are much easier to decipher.
Before we go in-depth with conditions and all that, check this out to make sure they are all true first editions:

This page is also very helpful:
not sure but walter scott appears to be the publisher. "our queen" is another book written by the as of now unidentified author Our Queen: The Life and Times of Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India, Etc. By the Author of "Grace darling": Amazon.com: Books
The silver coins look to mainly be common. Those pennies could be something else though. Some of the early wheat pennies can be quite valuable. I would recommend getting a Red Book.
https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Book-United-States-Coins/dp/079484796X/
If this book wasn't $300 it's possible it would have a clue:

Also when I lived in New York in 2013 they had a Christmas display with a bunch of animals:
Well black velvet paintings have regained popularity in the last couple years because they have that vintage kitschy feel. The pin-ups and Elvis are generally the most popular. I actually recognize the woman in the second portrait as Gwen Wong, Playboy's Playmate of the Month in April 1967. That may boost the value if you can find the right collector.
Unfortunately they aren't framed and that can be costly. Also I'm not sure of their desirability in Tokyo. But you can find them on ebay anywhere from $20 to the low thousands for especially rare and collectible ones. With some more research hopefully you can find some information on Cheng and the other ladies. If I saw these framed and for sale at funky decorating shop where I live (Vancouver, BC, Canada) I would expect a price tag of $100-$300. Hope this helps!
The only thing I've been able to find close to this is a used (and torn) twin set (mine is for a full sized bed) including the blanket (which I don't have) that sold for $50 on Ebay. Apparently they're a rare find these days when it comes to collecting, but I couldn't find a collector page anywhere to verify that.
everything but the large center stamp appears similar to something that could be hand done.
but the large center tool on the front board would have cost a chunk of change to get carved just for this one binding. and the spine hubs are done in a typical "publisher's" manner. the large tools in the corners of the front board are also very publisher-y, to coin a word. hand finished work is usually smaller scale.
the clincher is that the center tool was used also on three-quarter work, as HERE
so, the publisher bound them in varying levels of finish, and reused the same block stamps on them
I used the replacement program and got a refurbished 7th gen nano, and then sold the refurb on eBay for $90.
https://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano_replacement/
This service is free because of the battery recall for the first gens.
Honestly it's in way better shape than I would expect for something just laying around like it was. It probably wouldn't be graded nearly as high as possible by a collector, but they look for items that have been kept in safe storage as opposed to sitting around (and having been used).
This seller on eBay has a list of Hot Rod magazines from the 50s and 60s, and even a couple of issues from 1949 priced at over $100.
It's difficult to tell from the listings if they are in better or worse condition than yours, but yours is certainly more collectible (I couldn't find any other Vol. 1 No. 1's for sale).
Likely not worth very much. Timex has had a few interesting models, but generally speaking they're fairly cheap watches.
This looks like the same model, just with a date complication and a different band: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Mens-1966-Timex-Wind-Up-Watch-Date-/180715880528?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item2a13818050#ht_500wt_1274
So - yeah - less than $50.
Looks a lot like this to me:
I'd take it to a watchmaker to have them open it up, record the number on the inside of the caseback, and the calibre marking on the movement, then take that info to the Omega forum at www.watchuseek.com, there are a ton of helpful guys there who are for more knowledgeable with these older pieces than I am.
I was only able to find two copies with dust jackets available for sale. They are listed at $750 and $1350. The problem with this is that is the asking price, there is no way to know what copies have actually sold for. I checked a couple auction sites, book sites, and ebay. Sorry I can't give you a better answer.
Here is a link to the listings on Abe books.
Edit: it is also worth noting that both of these books are listed as being in 'good' condition. If your book is really in perfect condition (I would assume it to be 'near fine') then you may have something special.
Yours looks to be in rougher condition, but here's another from the same year.
Looks like even in shoddy condition these are worth a few bucks. Examples
For the History and Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella, here's a listing I found. You can compare their description with yours. They have the fifth edition, not the sixth. There's a 6th edition up on that site for sale but the description is in German, so I didn't link it. Someone else is offering the third volume of this set for 15 dollars.
Note, many of these are the hardcover bound editions of a full month/year etc. Single issues are generally worth a bit less.
Does this description fit yours?
Bookfinder has the first one for $152 (and another copy for $167), while the second book is much harder to find. I recommend using this ISBN (9780812919943) for searching, but I've yet to find one for sale. The author died a little more than a year ago, so emailing him isn't possible.
So, the value on that second one is a big question mark.
Thanks. I found this.

It's supposed to be a book cataloging all the pieces from that exhibition. Going to check it out at this weekend, maybe I will find out something more from it.
Gold is extremely malleable and can be pounded very very thin. You can buy gold leaf at the craft store and they caution you to not have any moving air around when handling it, it will blow away - that’s how thin it is.
So you would need to figure out the surface area of the rock - not outside dimensions. Then get that much gold leaf, see https://www.gildedplanet.com/leafcoverage.html for coverage. It’s not that expensive. See for example https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Gold-Leaf-Sheets-23k/dp/B073VBXSX7/ - this is ten 85 mm square sheets for $22.50
Then clean and acid etch the rock, make sure it’s as smooth as you can get it, apply metal leaf adhesive , apply the gold leaf with tweezers and rub down hard with your gold leaf roller. (You have a gold leaf roller, right?). You can probably build a wind free box around the rock to make all this happen.
So how much would it then be worth? Probably not a lot, most of this effort is labor. The gold leaf is probably only a couple of hundred dollars.
Couple of things. First the price he linked to on amazon does include the reflector, which he says it doesn't. Second, if the he has ballasts, hoods, and bulbs he should test the bulbs to make sure they work. Still there is really know way to know how many hours have been logged on the bulbs, so they could be brand new or hours away from failing. I think this total package has a brand new cost of around $500 so you decide if saving 20-25% is worth the risk. Another thing to consider is that I have seen many blasts rewired for controllers by amateurs that have no idea what they are doing.
I don't see where the listing shows or says he has the glass panels for the hoods. Those are important or you will not be able cool the lights like the hoods were intended for. Next I just want to make sure you know that this is not nearly the entire package needed to get even a small grow op going.
You are in Cali so you may have access to clones, if not I would highly recommend a clone box. They start at $25 and go up to $300. You get what you pay for.
If you have two 1000w going, it would be best to have a light controller, like this: https://www.amazon.com/HYDROFARM-MLC-4X-4-Light-HID-Controller/dp/B008NP7HNM/ref=sr_1_2?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1483987065&sr=1-2&keywords=light+controller
IF you are going to try to control heat and or smell you are going to need a squirrel blower with an active charcoal filter.
Also if you are starting with small plants that need to be under 24 hour light, a 1000w is going to be massive overkill. I used two 400w HPS to veg (florescent also work) enough for 3 1000W, plus a friend. You probably just need some high intensity florescent really.
Reflective Mylar, fertilizer, soil and or a hydroponic system all have to be considered as well. Prices have came down on equipment, still ends up being some pretty decent up front $$$ to get started. Made a lot of money doing it when I was younger though.
Not antique, so using "grandma" in your title lends nothing to the interest in or value of your item. The only people I can think of who would have interested in this are romantic, cutesy music box collectors and I don't think anyone keeps track of what they pay for anything. 1970s at the earliest, after President Nixon reestablished trade with China again. There is one for sale on Amazon and it says copyright 1990s on it.
https://www.amazon.com/Lauras-Attic-Wants-Picnic-Lunch/dp/B00UG8DNLY
and this seller is asking $9.99 for theirs.

Same here, I guess I made a typo. They had three items of Hansatsu clan notes for $70 buy it now... corrected version .
Edited to better define my error for the pedantic.
Revlon no longer manufactures the Flex line of products. Apparently this line was extremely popular until a packaging change. Customers could not recognize/find Flex on the shelves anymore so it eventually killed the line.

I found one here for $129. Nikon has released a Reflex (mirror) version that is much more compact so demand for this is likely really low. Either way, it would be fun to play around with if you have need to photograph something in the next county.
Awesome find!! it is indeed a tenor banjo and it looks to me to be from the 30's 40's and i wouldn't be surprised if it was worth 1000+ here's a similar vega on ebay right now, i love that color http://www.ebay.com/itm/VEGA-TENOR-BANJO-1920-30-CASE-STYLE-M-/160526656048?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2560226230#ht_500wt_1204

I love checking ebay's completed auctions for pricing these things. Ebay's a bit more than a local coin shop though. Variety in shopping choices comes at a premium.
If you have the complete set that is the $5 gold with the silver dollar, they are valued as a pair at around $400 to $450
I don't think it is worth much, and I can't believe it's all real leather either.
The majority hits I get for the Marksmen brand are from alibaba than tends to mean this is a cheap Chinese brand. Sorry man... I could be wrong but I don't think so.
Ahh, I was leaning more towards it being either a Bavarian or French limoge piece, there is one on Etsy with a semi-similar pattern, but the signature on it seems to be in the same style as the signature on mine.
This pic is so surreal.. Beanie Baby madness was absolute insanity. And so is having two adults using the time of the court system to divide children’s toys on the floor like two toddler siblings fighting.
I would contact a decorative arts department at a nearby museum or an auction house. The clock is known as "ormolu" style mantel clock as looks to be of very good quality. The address on the back houses a (decorative arts museum[http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187147-d188759-Reviews-Musee_Cognacq_Jay-Paris_Ile_de_France.html])
The best way to research records is to punch the catalog number into Discogs and see what they are going for in the marketplace. However I agree with the other comment that there isn't really anything of value.
I can guarantee you the mousemat originates from The Gathering 2010 in Vikingeskipet, Hamar, Norway. I know this because I was there and watched the 2v2 match between the two (and two randoms, IIRC).
That being said, Petter Northug signature could probably yield you a bit in Norway, as he is a big sports star here (as your wiki link says).
As for the rest, no idea. My best idea would be to list it on The Gathering's forums?
Edit: Source
I'm sorry but they don't really have any value, they aren't in style. I agree with u/tmmarini that they date from the 1990's and are probably made of oak.
Here's a near identical example with an asking price of $20, and it has a swivel top.
That auction you linked to is for a Buy-It-Now price of $225; it is not actually bid up to that amount; its also worth noting that the seller has declined two offers on the card although those offers are not disclosed.
Quickly checking the completed transactions I was able to find this auction which leads me to believe it's worth significantly less then the other seller is asking. I would realistically put the value somewhere between $60-90 depending on the type of buyer.
Unfortunately baseball cards (modern collectible cards in general) have really lost their collectible value in recent years but this one is pretty rare limited edition which does help it maintain some value.
Columbia 360 was a line of record players made by Columbia Records. I know they made all sorts of funky side speakers for some of them through the years.
You have a clock/speaker made for a Columbia 360 electric phonograph with the movement made by the Sessions clock company. I think it's very similar or the same model as the one in this ad. Too bad it's not higher res.
I have no idea the worth, but I've never seen the speakers go for much.
With a quick Google I found this result which is the same as yours. But it is in better condition, the fur isn't matted and it has the original baby Simba. They are asking $99 and can't imagine they will get that. So it doesn't really hold any value.
Maybe $50 if they're in pristine condition. There are hundreds of versions of the Complete Works of Shakespeare and there's nothing special about this one.
Flip the title page over what is the copyright date? That's the basic way to distinguish a first edition (not foolproof but it eliminates 80% of non firsts and the copyright page has the more relevant info like later printings listed or first edition noted).
Here's one And two This is the first case where I'd actually say your book is more valuable than the asking price. The condition is much better on yours and the fact that there was a 1987 reprint at all means there was at least some market for this and the minimal I could find means it's decently rare. The cover on yours looks more like a library rebind than a professional binding but I can't find any pictures of the original cover to be sure. I've found science books to sell pretty well so if I were posting this on eBay I'd list it buy-it-now at $200 and probably take any best offer over $100.
Velvet painting is actually a very old technique but it really gained popularity in North America in the 1970's when a huge factory opened in Mexico and they were mass produced. You can find them on ebay anywhere from $20 to the low thousands for especially rare and collectible ones. Since you have a lovely naked lady, and they are becoming trendy again I would estimate a $100.
I can give you two completed auctions for comparison:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380363952163&category=551
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390339293772&category=551
You can compare size and subject matter of the paintings to your own. The first one sold at the sellers opening bid of $499. The second one, which had some chips to the paint like yours, did not sell at that price. I'm not an expert on paintings at all, but you can probably draw some very general conclusions from those two auctions. Wish I could find more examples.
Just so happens there's an ebay auction going on now with the same tape here.
Here is one that sold for $45
Here is one that didn't sell for $79.
Here is the full set of 8 cars that did not bring $50 for all, I would guess $5 to $8 a piece.
The figure did not sell here for $1+$17 shipping.
I would guess around $10.
That looks like an old Pith helmet. They were quite popular until the 1940's, and were mainly used in the tropics. Without any markings I couldn't tell you if it was American or British, but they were more popular among the Brits due to the empire extending out into the tropics. However, the design of the helmet leads me to believe it may be of a later origin.
If you aren't one-hundred percent on its date, there is another Pith helmet I found from the US Government Civil Defense on ebay; you can see it here. It looks strikingly close to your example, especially with the leather sweatband and all of the rigging inside. Look around the straps and under the sweatband for any type of marking; you might be a little more clued into where it is from.
That said, it isn't worth much, especially since it doesn't really have any distinctive markings and it looks worn. However, it is cool and a piece of history.
They go for about $250-300 on eBay
Do you have any pics of them?
I remember on Ebay seeing some guy selling Blastoise, Venasaur and Charizard holoraphics for $999 lol.
Here's one going for $160 so far with 8 hrs to go on the bid
Found a seller advertising similar books or same book with varying dates of publishing from 1820's onwards. They don't appear to be worth a great deal but it still may be worth your while to go and get a valuation from a rare book seller. http://www.abebooks.com/book-search/title/common-prayer-administration-sacraments-other-rites-ceremonies-church-according-use-church-england/first-edition/page-1/
It's hard to evaluate the condition from these two pictures, but it looks decent. Probably in "good" condition. There are listings for this edition in similar condition on abebooks for anywhere from $100-400. This is the only one I found with pictures. I think that one may be priced a bit high. But I would think your book is worth $250-300 if the condition is good or better.

Looks like there are a few copies available for sale, most are in the $100-175 range.
The letter is neat, but doesn't really impact the value much.
Here is a six volume set from around the same year.
this is the highest price first edition unsigned paperback i saw.
Try grabbing the DOS version of our free diagnostic tool SeaTools and giving that a whirl.
Here's a guide on how to use it as well.
The tool has 3 erase features:
Erase Track Zero - quick erase that fills with zeroes to get rid of partitions & data
Timed erase - for when Erase Track Zero misses stuff like bootloaders
Full erase - writes the whole drive with zeroes, erases all data, and can sometimes fix bad sectors.

This is one of the more interesting things I've seen on here. Keep in mind the pt850 could just be a model number or some type of other marking. You will need to get the metal tested. I'd suggest just having it appraised. Even if it's stainless steel it's worth a couple grand at least if fully functional and does come from Solingen. I've seen some from the 1800's sell to collectors for around $15k. There are even ones like the link below that are museum pieces.
They are called exhibition multi tools because it is the knife that manufacturers would carry to world fairs etc to showcase their goods and attract attention. They have become a bit of a famous joke on Amazon for the hilarious reviews.

Very cool find, thanks for sharing.
This is the current model of your watch. The other user stating that is a model wr200 is incorrect. WR200 stands for water resistant up to 200 meters (see the watch description on Amazon). Citizen watches are quality made, low-mid line watches and will hold some value. You have a nice watch and should get the glass replaced or polished and you'll have a fine watch.
Unfortunately, it doesn't have a "Look Inside" feature you could compare. The same book is listed on Goodreads.
Very nice picture.
Thank you! There are no markings on the band. I used a diamond tester from amazon and it tested as a real diamond BUT I don't know if those can be trusted. I also have a gold test kit from amazon and it tested as 18k.
I have no idea how to tell if it has real sapphires or if they are lab created. It's allegedly an estate piece but people can say anything, you know? The seller created their own appraisal which says it's a marquis diamond and authentic sapphire but I didn't know if there was a way to tell online.
Interestingly enough, there is a book about Busan written by the same author's name. I wonder if there's any connection. It's a crapshoot given korean names being very common of course. If I was OP, I would be investigating if it's a family heirloom sort of thing.

The only reference I can find online to this even existing is {this post from 2008}(https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/bob-marley-lp-set-in-chrome-zippo-case.147071/), and the only similar thing I've found is a later box set that wasn't limited and those things are like $800.
Hummel value is in the dumpster because the Grandmas of that era have pretty much crossed the rainbow bridge and glutted the remaining market.
US zone does increase value to a collector because it narrows production to a small timeframe of significance. Still, it isn't enough these days to put much effort into selling. If you have a place and kind of like him yourself, keep him for your own pleasure--that's going to be the best ROI.
He appears to desperately need a good cleaning. The little handheld steam cleaners like this can often work wonders with a little care--do a small postage-stamp-sized area with steam and wipe (repeat if necessary), move on until done.
Hard to tell in an image but the refraction index and angle of the pavilion seems a bit shallow for diamond.
However, the only way to find out is to check with someone who has a diamond tester---jewelry store or pawn shop. Takes them about 15 seconds to check and any goof can do it--don't need a real jeweler.
Cheap diamond testers are 18 bucks or less on Amazon these days. Good enough for general tests. What they test for is thermal conductivity which is very specific for each different stone type.
I do a lot of ebay stuff. Google lens works very well for finding stuff. Found it on Amazon. Like $27.
