I have an old plate intaglio. This we believe is zinc, as I read it probably made of zinc or copper, there is a silver color. The mounting plate on a wooden base, which is likely to register in the press. It is old. Unsure of the actual age. As for print reproduction, which covers the smallest detail, even the blades of grass. This is an engraving of "American Homestead Spring" recorded under the photo. "Published by Currier and Ives" engraved under the photo. "152 Nassau St. New York," included in picture.And fine print, the best that I can read with a magnifying glass, "Entered according to Act of Congress AD 1869 by Currier & Ives, in the District Court of the United United for the Southern District of New York. "I wonder hOW I find a value of this and who or what kind of sensors would be interested in these parts. I think a lot about this special online print, but used none of the actual plates, so as not to find the best out of print or others.I, this type of plaque in the line for the sale or make the blind or helpless. If you know of a way forward that would be great. Thank you for reading my long question of breath.

As a printing plate and C of single or multiple color, the more of several plates, which means the whole game. If you find that will help the jury must be a value in the short term. Look at the block for each indication. It may be a letter, number or the block can even specify a "place" the color. Some ink can be embedded in the drawing. Use a glass well and see magnifing too. Some paint may be covered by the edge of the block and the burning horse. If an Antiques Roadshow is always with you, I'm sure they could help. In any case, various estimates obtained for the comparison. Search online for the next antiques dealer gives his city. Who knows .. can be a very richCollector plate is missing from his collection.
Check with a local expert. No contact from a museum, because it considers ethically immoral for a museum to appreciate the subject to know. Search for "Arts Review" or "evaluation" near your area on the Internet.
Once you set the price, you can offer a museum as a donation received. Or you can see whether the museum can buy - that is where the appraisal comes in. You will be the market value of the piece, nothing to pay higher or lower. The museums, which might be interested in this piece, is a museum of fine arts in your area or New York (and that's where home plate) or a museum in the same region (New York, it is not possible that the historic Museum of the City that you want). You may contact your local mvarious museums to see if I could give you a list of museums, whose specialty it is.
Good luck!
