Pardon the bugs on the front of the SUV. I snapped these photos as I unloaded the vehicle.In the meantime, while you mull over the info and formulate your appraisel, I'll post about the SS Badger.
ahem,...before I can make my appraisal, I would like to know how much YOU paid for each painting...
ReplyDeleteI bet you are a tough negotiator. LOL
ReplyDelete#1 $400
#2 $400
#3 $75
#4 $240
OK, since W. S. Davenport is a known artist and his portrait is in the Brooklyn Museum of Art...I would say that the painting is worth $1500.
ReplyDeleteThe second unnamed painting might be worth what you paid, so I'd say $400.
The third Leslie Crump is also a known artist and I would say that was worth about $500.
And the last one also may be worth what you paid, I would up it a little and say $300
So, how'd I do?
LOL....don't you want to hear about the SS Badger, first?????
