Q: I am interested in the value of this chocolate set. I know it is very old because it belonged to my grandmother. It is marked with a crest and "M.Z." and "Hapsburg China -- Made in Austria." The set consists of the pot and six cups and saucers. I would appreciate any information you can give me.

A: This nine-piece chocolate set was made by the Moritz Zdekauer Co. in Altrohlau, Austria, between 1900 and 1915. It would probably sell for about $265 to $285.

Q: Please settle an argument for me. When was this Hummel mark used? I would also like to know the value of my Hummel No. 11 "Merry Wanderer" bearing this mark.

A: The Full Bee mark was used from 1950 to 1958. Your "Merry Wanderer" would probably sell for $275 to $300 in good condition.

Q: Please evaluate my sterling silver souvenir spoon. It is in the form of a mermaid with a seashell handle and bowl. It is inscribed "1904 World's Fair -- St. Louis."

A: This is a choice souvenir spoon with all that figural design. It would probably sell for $65 to $75.

Q: Among my father's things, we found an old novelty watch. It is a Big Bad Wolf & Three Little Pigs pocket watch. It is inscribed "May the Big Bad Wolf Never Come to Your Door -- Walt Disney." Can you provide any information as to its age and value?

A: This was made in the mid-1930s and would be considered quite rare. Recent sales have been for around $300 in good condition.

Q: What can you tell me about a clown figurine marked with a crown and "R -- C"? He is 9 inches tall and wears a black and white costume.
