Question
I HAVE 36 PEWTER ICE CREAM MOLDS MOSTLY NY&CO WITH NUMBERS ON THEM.IS THERE A GOOD REFERENCE BOOK WITH VALUES IN IT? I'D LIKE TO SELL THEM BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE WORTH. THANK YOU

Answer
-

Not sure about date - probably late 19th or early 20th century. Can be interesting and desirable collectors items, and values might vary from $20 - $200 depending on type and condition. eBay is a good way to sell these, or else a good auction house (though the latter will likely yield a lower total, but is less work).
