Its a "Hall" brand red pitcher from probably the 40's. 60's at the latest

I should be able to tell you the value? How fast is his fastball? Also, can he throw a decent curve ball? Pitchers aren't very valuable without a good curve ball.

not when he's antique. if he's made in the 40's, then he probably won't last very long.

I am familiar with Hall a bit. I am going to throw out a best quess here, you would certainly want to do some digging for value on it. $75.00 to $125.00. That's my guess.

Value is also effected by damage, does it have any chips, etc. You could google for Hall, and see what you get, you'd probably have to look through a lot of sites to find what you're looking for.

oh yeah, and seriously, I don't think it truely qualifies as an antique unless it's 100 years old.

Try ebay... maybe they are selling something like that. It helped me figure out the worth of a plate that was several decades old.

Many have called items antique if they are 50 or older

100 or older fits the exact description if you consider an antique an item that is duty free or something like that


but if it was in the 40's its 65 years old, many would "consider" that antique (kinda like when my grandmother was 65, we considered her views antiquated or hrm

the definition of an antique is something over 100 years old. A collectible is everything else.

To have it appraised, costs money. A musuem curator will NOT appraise that for you. Yeah, he will most likely refer you to someone else. You can go to the International Society of Appraisers, and go that route. Not worth spending that kind of money. Either find an antique dealer to help you, or, do your own research on it, and find a close price.

There is a a difference too, between book value, and what someone is willing to pay for it. If it's not rare piece, or hard to find piece, I doubt you will get book value.
